Wine Review: "The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses."
My Review: This wine had a perfume like smell and tasted light and slightly alcoholic. This wine had a somewhat woody aftertaste and was interesting. Pretty good.
I enjoyed this wine without food.
