Winery review: 4 months in new American oak barrels. Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.(04/11/2013- Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)
My review:This red wine had a strong smell of toasted bread. It tasted like chocolate covered cherries, and had a smooth texture. I also got hints of darker fruits. I liked this wine but I don't think I could drink a lot of it at once.
