Shop Review: Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity
bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with
pasta dishes and red meats.

My Review:  On the nose, this wine definitely did have the fruity bouquet as listed in the shop review. When I tasted this wine, it still maintained those fruity flavors from the smell. This red wine was not too dry, and overall, I thought it was a good full body wine. 

With or Without Food: Without food
