Vintage Cellar review: Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex, but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.
My review: On the nose, this wine was very perfumey. It also had hints of blackberry and grape scents. Despite its big smell, this wine was surprisingly light on the tongue. It was a little bitter and tannic, but not painfully so like other reds I've had. I found a slight blackberry flavor in the taste, as well. Overall, as hard of a time as I usually have with drinking red wines, this was actually pretty easy to drink.
I did not have food with this wine.
