Winery Review: Red berry, rose, leather and baking spice aromas come together in the glass. The structured, juicy palate doles out ripe black cherry, licorice, roasted herb and tobacco alongside firm, velvety tannins. Still young and bracing, give this a few more years to fully develop. Drink 2016–2026.

My Review: This wine is dark orange in color. The smell is definitely strong, especially of earthy aromas. There is a slight fruity smell, but I can't seem to make out what type of fruit. There are a lot of tannins in this wine that make it extremely dry. There is a slight zing to it, that makes it slightly bold. It tastes like fig and earth and it medium bodied. This wine did not taste good alone.

I tasted this wine without food.
