The color was a dark ruby red. It smelled of wintergreen mint, blackberry, and dark purple grapes. It tasted like blackberries and minerals. The flavor was very dynamic. I'm impressed that it was not very astringent even considering it's 14.5% alcohol content. Good to enjoy on its own but would be best paired with a good meal. Drank it with parrano cheese and cadbury chocolate and it worked best with the cheese.

The wine was a light tangerine color. It smelled floral and of strawberries. It tasted like grapes, flowers, and cedar. It takes me back to my time in France when I'd buy a cheap rose with my lunch.

Color was a dark ruby red. Smelled astringent, floral, and of cedar. Tasted like dry dark cherry. Had a cedar finish. Slight hint of chocolate. I enjoyed the smell better than the taste.
