Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and BBQ meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.
Personal Tasting Notes:
I tried this wine without food but I feel it could go well with something such as beef roast or a spaghetti dish. I found this wine to have a very dark red almost black plum color, and a very complex scent. The scent was strong with cherries and maybe blackberries. The wine was rather acidic and very dry. This wine was bit smooth at first but definitely had a strong and spicy lingering on the palate.
