Tasting Notes
You remember when you were a little kid, and there was this little store round the corner that had a nice man behind the counter who would sell you a big bag of the best candy for a nickel? We don’t either, no one is that old! But if we were that old, this wine might just remind us a little of those days, with aromas of cherries, vanilla creme and allspice; and flavors of zingy cherry and blackberries - maybe even that funny cinnamon candy you used to think was yucky - finishing with impressions of 10W30 oil. Whoops, I guess we wandered into the hardware department, but I think you get the idea...

A great solid wine. I taste dark berries and a hint of vanilla. I served my bottle alongside my homemade spaghetti, crusty bread, and a big green salad.(Oct 31, 2011 at 12:25 PM)
