It is an excellent wine. Nose: very earthy, rich dark soil. Hints of red cherries. Taste: Earthy soil as to be expected. cherries, plums. While this wine is not too complex this wine has nice balance and a nice medium finish. Soft tannins on the finish for a dry mouthfeel. Very enjoyable right now, and should age well and soften a bit on the finish. This wine will be a great backyard BBQ wine this summer! This wine is available at your local LCBO.
