Critic Review:  "Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape.  Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing.  A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins."

My Review:  This wine smelled of spices and plums.  This color was beautiful; it was a purplish-red.  This wine tasted very tart and sour.  There was an explosion of berry flavors and plums.  I liked this wine, but I would have preferred to taste this wine with food.

I tasted this wine without food.
