My Review: On the nose this wine smelled of dark cherries and plums. I couldn't place the other smell, and just considered it "woody." However, seeing the winery review, tobacco and leather makes sense. On the palate, this wine was of medium weight, was slightly dry during sipping, and very dry afterwards. The actual flavors were hard to place. It was an interesting combination, that left me puzzled, and not sure what to think of it. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
Winery Review: "This opens
with dark aromas of leather, tobacco, cured meat, plum and prune. It shows soft
tannins and loads of dark fruit on the finish."
