Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Velvety smooth texture just like its name. Soft tannins and lush dark fruit character. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah ring the backbone and character, while the Merlot balances out the blend for a soft, smooth texture." Vintage Cellar
My Review: This wine smelled fairly light with a berry and spice aroma. The wine itself tasted dry and had a very rounded, "smooth" mouthfeel. Probably the Merlot. The one time I had Merlot before it tasted like jelly, but this was a bit more hardened than that which I liked. There was a slight chocolate taste, possibly chocolate covered berries. Not bad, I liked this wine and actually purchased it!
This wine was tasted at Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
