Shop Review: The red ruby color and the dry taste give this wine joviality and cordiality. It is fresh and fruity, with lovely strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, with nice spice and silky texture.

My Review: On the nose, I detected cherry notes. When I tasted this wine, it was a little smoky. I also noticed the cherry notes when tasting. I did not particularly like this wine probably due to the length of time it lingered on my palate after I finished tasting it.
