Winery Review: From the rare Alicante Bouchet, one of the few grapes
in the world with red flesh this wine
has a plush texture carring flavors of brandied cherry and chocolate ganache in
this round red. Light tannins and gentle acidity impart a lovely, balanced
structure.
My Review: This wine definitely had the oak monster. It was a very woody, oakiness smell to it. It drank very hot, got hints of dark cherry or cranberry chocolate. I also did not the after taste, I felt it was too strong and lingering.
