Winery Review: The ruby red vintage fuses leather, black tea and tobacco box aromas with plum and berry flavors. Medium bodied, velvet-textured and slightly spicy, this wine pairs wonderfully with fame meats, lamb, and mushroom dishes. This wine was blended with Chambourcin, a small amount of Cabernet Franc for depth, and was finished with a bit of Tannat for added structure.
My Review: When I smelled this wine I could smell a hint of tobacco and earthy smells. The last of the wine is very earthy and fully bodied. It has a slight peppery taste to it, but it is not overwhelming. I can see this wine going well with a meal.
