Description from the Vintage Cellar: "This medium-bodied red offers roasted plum, kirsch,
sage and game notes, with light tannins supporting the spicy finish."
My Review: I detected spicy, peppery notes on the nose. The taste was right in line with the scent, with noticeable tannins and a spiced, peppery flavor. I also detected notes of oak and sour cream- I described it as drinking an enchilada. I thought the wine was very drying. I didn't buy any, and I really regret it. I may go back this week and pick up a bottle or two and try it on Mexican food night!
