Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Up front aromas of raspberry and cherry fruit, medium to light weight, Rhone wine in character, cherry fruit flavors, followed by bright acidity. Reminds of a mythical cross between a Pinor Noir and a Cotes-du-Rhone. Pleasant and fun, bistro red." -Kysela Pere Et Fils, Ltd., Importer and Distributor
My Review: A very wonderful berry and cherry smell-a sugary fruit smell which I thought was delightful! A hint of something like copper was in the background of the nose, though which was interesting. Upon tasting the wine, it was also very different from the aromas I gathered. It had a peppery taste without any of the berry notes I had smelled in the wine. It wasn't bad and I probably wouldn't mind this if I tried it with food.
This wine was tasted at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
