Winery Review: Deep ruby color. Appealing red fruit nose with hints of tobacco. Medium bodied with a smooth and lush mouth-feel. Finishes dry with lasting flavors. Excellent choice for a young and fruity everyday wine. Enjoy as an aperitif or with meats and pasta dishes. (The Vintage Cellar)
My Review: This wine is again a South American wine that really fits all my wine criteria. This one specifically had a plum, blackberry and blueberry front nose that was delightful. The taste followed suit with a fruit forward taste typical to New World style wines. The fruit tasted mostly like blackberry with some plum injected. The tannins were nice and soft that developed after the first swallow. The acidity was low making for a nice mouth pucker finish. It was so such a smooth yet full body wine it almost felt like it was chewable. I was chewing at the tannic development at the end pallet.
