Shop/wine critic/winery review: "A pretty floral wine, with a rose petal note underscoring the rich pomegranate and sweet plum flavors. The fresh acidity is balanced, and a light spice note lingers on the finish." Vintage Cellar
My review: My classic combination smell of butter, copper, and oak, but not very strong. Had a strawberry and plum aroma, but no dark berries or anything of that sort (like blackberries, mixed berries, or any of that). There was a subtle floral hint to it that made the wine smell kind of pretty. I just noticed that my description actually lines up with the review for once, so that is something. The flavor had a great balance of sweetness and dryness and was medium-bodied. Although there was no mixed berry aroma, that's a majority of what I got in the flavor profile, along with that pomegranate
they spoke of. Oak is definitely present in this wine, but not overpowering and no oak monster. I really liked this wine as well and actually purchased it because the price was so great!This wine was tasted at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
