Vintage Cellar Review:
Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats.
My Review:
Our first red of the night smelled rich and acidic with notes of cherry, so I was definitely expecting a robust wine. As I sipped it, it wasn't too strong at the front of my palate, but once it moved back and sat in my mouth, I got the full experience. The soft tannins exposed more of the fruit, whereas with some red wines, I've been so turned off by the acidity that I can't taste anything else.
