This wine is a real treat. At $24.95 a bottle it is the kind of wine you drink from time to time, not every day. It is now sold out. This is one of my Dad’s picks, drank with dill pickle popcorn, because my mom doesn’t like to drink red wine so for my dad any chance to share a red is a special occasion. For normal people, I would recommend it with a dinner, probably a heartier one, though it is nice and complex to drink on its own.
D – This wine is full bodied with
a lot of legs, and tastes lightly oaked. There are a lot of flavours going on
here. It is nice to drink by itself so you can taste all the flavours going on.
It is a very light red, and is almost the colour of a rose. I taste
blackberries and currents, darker red fruits, and the woodiness I mentioned earlier.
I love this wine. I would eat this with cheeses and pork. The wine isn’t heavy
enough for beef or something strongly flavoured like Italian. I might even
consider this for a thanksgiving or Christmas wine with turkey.
M – My mom made a very bad face.
I think that this wine is too red for her, so this is not a white wine drinkers
red. She said it tasted dry and sour, so that’s a no go.
A – This wine has a very distinct
flavour, that is quite different than other wines I have drank. It is woody and
raisiny and a little bit dry. It tastes like eating a meal, because there are a
lot of flavours going on at once. First it is like cherries and raisins, drier
fruits. Then it gets dry and spicy. This wine would go well with a nice pork
roast, maybe with apples or sage. OR something bacony. I would want to eat it
with something fattier to bring out the flavours and balance the dryness. This
might also go well with something with a creamy gravy, like a turkey or a
chicken pot pie for the same reasons. The more I drank this wine, the more I
liked and appreciated it. I would use this a gift for someone who I knew liked
red wine. It would also be good for a fancy winter dinner. A win for our wine
and popcorn night!
