Tasting Notes: This ruby-colored wine is fruit forward with aromas of plum and raspberry. There are flavors of blackberry and cherry with soft tannins providing a smooth finish.
My review: Phew this one was interesting. I initially got blasted in the face with this terrible charred, burnt fruit smell. To top it off, after sampling it I was finally able to understand what the "Oak Monster" really is and he is not my friend. Talk about super over oaked. A few sips in after getting adjusted to the charred oaky flavors I was able to discern a pretty distinct vegetal flavor. Either my taste buds are totally off and I'm missing the point of this wine completely or whoever's writing the tasting notes for this wine is pulling generic descriptions out of a hat.
I had this wine without food.
