Shop review: "Garnet color. Aromas of black cherry, plum jam, rich dark soil, and violet honey with a lightly tannic, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex medium long black cherry, rich garden soil, crushed plum, and cinnamon toast finish with medium tannins and moderate oak. Dense, dark and chewy with earthy complexity, balancing the luscious jammy fruit qualities of new world with earthy qualities of old world wines."
My review: THE WINNER! Haha just kidding. That's what "el ganador" means in Spanish, but unfortunately this wasn't the winner of this week's tastings. I did like this wine though! The color was a dark brick red. I got hints of blackberry, woody, oak, spices, and pepper. I liked this but not enough to purchase it since I was already buying two of them...TWO? BUT YOU ONLY TOLD US ABOUT ONE?! Wait till tomorrow to find out which other wine I bought this week...
Pairing: Not with this wine, but I feel like it would be really good with a peppery steak.
Cheers!
Natalie
