The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats."
My Review: This was a very nice full-bodied red. I was surprised to smell buttered popcorn on the nose, with just a faint hint of vinegar. It tasted very warm, and was only slightly tannic. The sweetness and acidity were well balanced and fairly uniform throughout. It reminded me of a sweet red, but with a little oomph to it - slightly spicy but not overwhelmingly so - and with a velvety finish.
This wine was tasted without food.
