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: I detected plums and berries on the nose of this wine - I though it was a very nice aroma, actually. I at first tasted the oak (and only oak) but it quickly fades into a very smooth finish. Not bad.
Food? I did not have this wine with food.
