Shop Review: 4 months in new American oak barrels Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.
My Review: On the nose, I was able to detect some berry notes. It had an almost earthy component to the nose. On the palate, I detected some oak components. It also was somewhat of a sweeter wine.
With or Without Food: Without food
