Winery Review: Opaque ruby in color, once in the glass the nose explodes right away. Delightfully intoxicating aromas of black and blue berry fruit leap forward first, followed by notes of cherry hard candy, crushed violets, caramel, allspice, cloves, and cigar box. In your mouth, more persistent and chewy berry fruit: blue and black + lots of sour cherry and tart blackberry.
My Review: This wine smelled like pomegranate juice and passion fruit. It tasted like a light red licorice candy, blackberries, and light herbs. I wasn't a fan of this wine because of the smell - I don't like pomegranates.
I did not taste this wine with food.
