Winery review: This dark-colored 2015 possesses cranberry and cherry richness intermixed with some spice box, earth and herbs. It is fresh, medium-bodied and could be served chilled if readers desire, given its Beaujolais-like weight and texture.
My review: Well this was an interesting experience. I will try to be as fair as possible at first then I'll end on how I want to talk about this. The smell was of some kind of berry and like the pot a potted plant would go in (without anything else...just the pot). The taste was kinda hard to pull much out of, I got a little bit of a sour taste but I do not know what to compare it to. The aftertaste was dirt. Overall this wine, in my opinion is just dirt. If you like the taste of dirt, then by all means, enjoy it, but it actually tasted like dirt and that's not me trying to insult the wine at all. It actually only really reminded me of dirt and I could not separate the sod that you put plants in from the taste of this wine. I do not enjoy dirt so I did not enjoy this wine.
This was tried by itself with no food.
