Winery Review:
75% Grenache, 25% Tempranillo. Aged 3 months in American Oak casks. Ruby red in color, with creamy aromas of earth and cherry. Flavor turns toward deeper and darker black cherry and raspberry on a medium frameworke. A subtle earthiness underneath the bright fruit adds some depth and complexity.
My Review:
A very fun and interesting red, this non-varietal features a very Earthy Pine nose - almost like taking a walk in a fall woods. The Earthy components continued through the palate, where I was able to discover deep, dark berry undertones. Bright raspberry mixed with earthy, dark chocolatey hints, this extremely smooth wine would pair well with dark chocolate or a heavy red meat dinner. I would definitely try this wine again with some different food pairings.
