Winery Direct Review:
A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Tempranillo this wine is deep ruby/purple
color. With a smoky black cherry, peppery scented nose and a wonderful texture,
of creamy, ripe, chewy fruit. It has a spicy long finish. An excellent wine for
red meats and pasta dishes.
My Review: The aroma of this wine is of black pepper
and tobacco. The color is a deep crimson
red. This is a very spicy medium bodied
red wine with a smooth finish. The
acidity is balanced wonderfully with the tannins. The black pepper and dark berry taste left my
mouth craving for more. I had enjoyed a
piece of chewy Italian bread with this wine and it gave the bread smoky taste. I would highly recommend this wine with a red
sauce or skirt steak with chimichurri sauce.
The black pepper taste was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend
this wine. It had a lot of personality and was priced modestly!
