Winery Review: 4 months in new American oak barrels Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.
My Thoughts: The nose on this wine was nothing but raisins for me. Was not a pleasent smell. Flavor was very similar, dominated by raisin. Some hints of earthiness and mild oak. I did not care for this wine at all.
