Winery 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 Thoughts: The color is a light red, looks a bit thin. Strange earthy and fruity nose, though not distinct, I would almost call it a rotten fruit. The flavor is much the same with fruit and earthen tones. Not something I enjoyed overly much.
