Winery review: Aromas of eucalyptus leaf, sweet pickle relish and raspberry-blueberry jelly with a silky fruity-yet-dry medium body and juicy, cedar and peppery spice accented finish. A very pleasant sipper or burger wine. (Received a score of 86).
My review: Initial scent was quite peppery and made the nostrils burn. The color appeared between a darker red and a purple. After letting the wine sit, the scent had stronger hints of cherry and some other berry. The wine tasted quite fruity and sweet and did not have a noticeable heat to it. Had somewhat of a dry aftertaste, but this became less offensive as the wine was allowed to open up. With the pasta/meat sauce combination, the wine appeared to have an oily sensation and was more buttery. The meat was able to cut some of the bite from the aftertaste. With garlic bread, this wine was absolutely horrible. This is not so much a knock on the wine as it is on the garlic bread's inability to taste good with any wine that was tried during this evening.
I tasted this on its own at first, but then tried it once with pasta/meat sauce and then with garlic bread.
