Critic Review:  "It's created from the finest Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Ainfandel.  The taste is lush and velvety with expressive notes of raspberry and cherry.  It pairs nicely with pasta and anything off the grill."

My Review:  I am not a huge fan of most red wines, but I actually like this wine.  It gives off a strong aroma of various berries, mostly cherries, as well as a spicy smell.  This wine tasted much like it smelled.  I could definitely taste cherries, and a slight raspberry taste.  It tasted like spiced fruits.  This red wine does not have the over-powering taste of earthy and spiciness, that many do, which is why I think I enjoyed it.  I could definitely tell this wine would pair nicely with a juicy steak.

I tasted this wine without food.
