•Critic Review:  Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats.
My Review:This wine was very peppery smelling and tasting. It also smelled like plums but tasted dry and smooth. Overall I really liked this wine. The smoothness of it was very unexpected with the peppery smell.
