This young wine puts off a fairly strong dose of alcohol when first opened so make sure to decant for 30 minutes to an hour in order to burn off some of that vapor. Once the wine is allowed to breath a little, you’ll be able to smell the fruity cherry and blackberry aromas with hints of cedar, currant, and chocolate. Upon first taste you might get a little of that alcohol burn but again that will pass with a little air, allowing some of the other flavors to show through. Leading the way are the sweetly tart flavors of cranberry and pomegranate, followed by a mix of red and black fruit and a little pepper. The finish, which is really the best part, offers a nice dose of black cherry. The peppery mixture of tart and sweet fruit backed by strong acidity and tannins make this a great wine to serve alongside a tray of cured meats and cheeses.

What's all the CHATr about?

How do the Wine Scores equate to each other?

Different people like to rate wines in different ways, and we aim to please. So we give you 2 options.

You can rate wine on a scale of 0-5 Glasses, or for finer detail, you can rate wine on a 100 point scale.

We do the conversion for you so all Wine Ratings display both values. The table below shows you the conversion:

= 50 points or less.
= 51 - 57 points.
= 58 - 62 points.
= 63 - 67 points.
= 68 - 72 points.
= 73 - 77 points.
= 78 - 82 points.
= 83 - 87 points.
= 88 - 92 points.
= 93 - 96 points.
= 97 - 100 points
