Winery review:
91 Points - Steven Tanzer
Bright purple. Exotic, expansive aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, vanilla and cola, along with a peppery overtone and a hint of violet pastille. Broad, fleshy, appealingly sweet boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors show excellent depth and a seamless texture. Finishes juicy and long, with building spiciness, an echo of blue fruit and round tannins.

My review:
I did not enjoy drinking this wine mainly because it was so strong that it dried my whole mouth up. It had floral-cherry, even a rosy aroma. There were sediments in wine so I assume we were at the bottom of the bottle. But I did like the strawberry, red fruit flavors within this wine.

Food or no food:
I didn't have this wine with food.
