About the Wine: Red blends are a personal favorite of mine. A good wine master can mix wines so that the negative characteristics of each wine in the blend are filtered out while the positives are preserved and amplified.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is a dark, ruby red with a crimson rim. The nose is heavy and complex with notes of smoke, spice, and red fruit. On the palate this wine is almost syrupy. Red fruit and licorice are dominant with green pepper in the background. The fruits fade and the pepper lingers in the finish.
Drinking This Wine: Could work as a sipping wine, but I would rather have it with vegetarian pasta dishes with red sauce.
Overall Impression: This is not a terribly accessible wine for the novice drinker, but it is fairly good. It is reasonable for the price.
