Winery Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.

My Review: This wine had a very rich smell when sniffing it. I definitely detected blackberry and dark cherry aromas for sure. When tasting the wine, I thought it tasted very rich as well. It reminded me of a good stout with a mocha aftertaste to it. This wine was definitely very full-bodied and I’d probably want to consume it with something a lot lighter.
