Winery Review: From the rare Alicante Bouchet, one of the few grapes in the world with red flesh this wine has a plush texture carring flavors of brandied cherry and chocolate ganache in this round red. Light tannins and gentle acidity impart a lovely, balanced structure.
My Review: Full bodied wine with a prominent, musty, earthy aroma, Definitely a dry wine with a strong presence of tannins. Maybe a slight taste of chocolate with a moderate finish. As a new wine drinker, I do not particularly like full body, dry, red wines including this one. Not a very pleasant taste. I did not taste this wine with food.
