Wine Critic: Deep red plum aromas lead to a mix of red and dark berry fruits on the palate with beautifully integrated oak spice flavors. The wine’s concentrated fruit, refreshing acidity and tannins are all in balance, allowing for aging, but it is delicious right now.
My Review: I got this bottle given to me as a gift at the country club I work at. One of the members knew I was taking a wine class and had some left over bottles from a party he threw. One of the three bottles was opened and half way done. I have two more bottles but think this bottle had been oxidized a little too much. It was full of flavors though. Immediately the first flavor I got was a dark cherry flavor. As I drank more the oak flavor came out. This is the first wine that I drank that had me wanting more. I can't wait to taste the other bottles after they have aged a bit.
Food: No food with this wine.
