Shop 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: On the nose, I swore this wine smelt like Beggin' Strips that I give to my dog. Maybe it was because I was thinking about Beggin' Strips, but I thought the wine kind of tasted like it too. The wine was very bold and very dry.
With Food? No
