WineO Mark Review

This wine has a garnet color on the glass. Its aroma is filled with dark fruits, vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon, coffee, and nuts followed by hints of sweet licorice and spices.

It’s a medium to full-bodied wine that has an elegant mouthfeel and outstanding balance. It has supple tannins making it enjoyable to drink. There are flavors of plums, blueberries, cherries, and blackberries with notes of leather, spices, and toasted oak creating a long finish.
