Winery Review: This medium-bodied red offers roasted plum, kirsch, sage and game notes, with light tannins supporting the spicy finish.
My Review: This was an interesting wine to taste. Very surprising to me was the overwhelmingly aroma of butter. Honestly, it was so overwhelming, that it's really all I could smell. I don't know if this is a common aroma for this wine, but I felt like movie theater popcorn doused in butter had just been made. This aroma of butter did not carry through to the tasting however. On the palate, this wine tasted of dark cherries and plum. It was very earthy, with hints of fruit. It seemed to be a little closed off. This wine was okay, and I probably would not purchase it in the future.
