My Rating: 3 Stars

Pretty, light red color and good berry and currant aromas on the nose. The palate was rich and flavorful, with ripe blackberry fruit, leafy forest, smoke and dirt tones. It had a firm background of tannins, a little oak and balanced acidity. The texture was velvety and mouth filling. This wine wasn't overly complex, but it was tasty and delicious and paired very well with the smoky pork loin. A decent value and recommended.
