• cuffthis Likes this wine: 90 points

  October 6, 2014 - Dark ruby, bordering on purple in color, this wine shows intense aromatics of cherry, raspberry, smoke and spice on the nose. The mouth feel brought a silky, smooth texture, framing the red fruits. The finish was medium in length and brought an unexpected burn, leaving this taster wondering if the abv was higher than the 13.7% as stated on the label.
  
  Purchased for a nicely discounted price of $21US, this is a well made wine that is fairly big in style. It paired well with hard cheeses and charcuterie tonight. Recommended with meat, not fish. Also, the heat of the alcohol throws this wine a little of out balance but still enjoyable.
