Tasting:

She said: Ruby red color with slight brown rim, translucent, with lots of thin charging downward legs. Lots if aroma with multiple scents that lead to a luscious dark cherry flavor. Dry, smooth and medium bodied the wine had soft tannins and a long finish that continued the delicious flavors and tannins. The wine went well with the dinner but was even better alone because the juicy cherry flavor blossomed. An outstanding wine and well worth the price. I LOVE it!!! Buy another bottle Ray.
