Winery Review: The red ruby color and the dry taste give this wine joviality and cordiality. It is fresh and fruity, with lovely strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, with nice spice and a silky texture.

My Thoughts:The aroma is very earthy with hints of spice and cherries. The flavor is fairly dry with mild tannins and spicy, some amount of cherry and berries at first. The finish is earthy and smokey. tasted pretty good to me, I will have to see how well it pairs with food.
