• Shop review:
• "Organic and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly.  It shows a nice cherry colour with a violet shade.  Red berries and cherries bouquet on the nose combined with spice and coffee.  On the palate there are flavours to chocolate and cherries, it is fresh, sweet tannins and harmonious with long finish.  Pair with: beef sirloin with pepper sauce."
• My review:
• This wine tasted very bitter and earthy, with a strong spicy taste.  It was interesting how the nose was completely different fron the taste: while this wine smelled fruity, it tasted earthy.
• I did not have this wine with food.
• Tasted at the Vintage Cellar wine tasting on 04/27/2013.
