Expert Review: "Beautiful ruby appearance, with blackberry and pepper notes. Tannins and fruit marry well for a soft finish. This wine pairs well with sharp cheddar cheese and hazelnuts. Also try it along with roast lamb at Easter time, veal marsala, or grilled salmon."

My Review:  This wine had a lot of dark red fruit incorporated into the smell, including plum, raspberry, black berry and pomegranate. The taste was slightly dry and I could taste the spices. The fruits were still there, black berry and especially plum.

I did not pair this with food
