Shop review: Excellent nose with a hint of vanilla, pleasantly dry, lightly red with some blackberry, nice quick finish with a pleasant acid level -Harris Wood
Wine Folly: pg 125 Malbec, I got the blackberry and dark fruit flavors but I couldn't get any of the cocoa. Next time I drink this blend I'll try and see if I can taste it. pg 189 Zinfandel, I got the sweet tobacco taste, there was some bitterness to this blended wine so this makes sense.
My review: Great wine! I usually lean towards white wines, but this was a wine I would purchase again. The smell was fruity and a bit oaky. The dark fruit flavors came out when I tasted it. I also tasted a bit of bitterness like oak or sandalwood. I would be interested to try this wine again with food. Overall, would try again!
