Winery review:  Superb dark garnet color with a few reflections of dark orange. Intense nose of ripe fruits, spices, and roasted coffee. The palate is rounded and full, with silky matured tannins and hints of vanilla. This wine is rich and powerful with layers tannins.(04/4/2013- Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)

My review:This red wine had a nose of tomato paste, and rotten vegetables. I thought it smelled absolutely disgusting. It tasted peppery and very dry. I think this has a very fall festive feeling to the wine, however I did not like it at all. Possibly this wine would taste better with food.
