Winery Review: Velvety
smooth texture just like its name. Soft tannins and lush dark fruit character.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah bring backbone and character, while the
Merlot balances out the blend for a soft, smooth texture. (The Vintage Cellar)
My Review: This wine was ok at best. The nose was a most reds go with the cherry and dark fruits usually found in these types of varietals. The taste was good but not distinctive as I has found to like in wine. It was an easy wine to mistake as another. The pallet is overtaken by cherry and blackberry. Some black current and a little bit of vanilla. The body is silky and smooth but no real punch got me into the wine.
