VC Review: "Don’t let the pale garnet color fool you:  this is a substantial wine.  Aromas of red fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and plums.  On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly rich, yet easygoing red wine.Pair this wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken."

My Review: Sharp on the nose - ginger and spice hits your nostrils. It tasted of Macintosh apples, plums, and cranberry sauce. Somewhat sour tasting wine, which surprised me because of ow plush and sweet the smell was. This wine was also a tad bit bitter, but in more of a cough syrup way - as the texture was syrupy itself. Not my style of wine necessarily.
