Winery review: This wine is dry and contains subtle tobacco undertones with a black licorice, cherry, scent. The oak is in the background. Would pair well hamburger or a steak rather than stand alone.
My review: I thought this wine had a lot going on for the $5 price tag. I was able to smell dark cherries, and a little bit of what I thought to be oak initially. It took me a little while to pick up the third most distinct smell, which was licorice, but that's pretty much all I could smell afterwards. On the palette I was able to daste dark cherries and a warm spicy finish. I also tried this wine with spaghetti and meatballs and it brought out the fruit a little more, although it finished more spicy than without food.
I had this wine with spaghetti and meatballs and then again without food
