Shop's 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 Review: My nose detected hints of tobacco and berry jam. It also smelled like fresh outdoor air. I tasted oak and vanilla. This was a dry wine with a slightly bitter finish.
I did not drink this wine with food.
