Randy said it was an excellent blend with dark chocolate on the finish. Deb said it was a "treasure trove" with hints of cocoa, dark cherry cola and blackberry cobbler.
This is a bold wine, and it went incredibly well with the barbeque ribs that Todd brought. I made orzo with beef, mushrooms and cheese and that paired nicely, too.
With the setting of the sun and the rapid Pacific cooling of the California air, it was time to bring on the reds...and what a delight these were as well.
Kim thought the color was unusual, but she enjoyed the cherry and butterscotch notes and liked its finish. Brian picked up red currants and nettles and called it "nice stuff."
The wine has a surprisingly rich coral hue with immediate aromas of strawberry. Its delightful juicy berry taste with hints of apple and melon sports a slight sweetness.
