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: A deep red color. Aromas of moth balls and very distinctly of bugs. I tasted wet rock and thought the tannins were obvious. Initial taste was a punch of zest. I did not at all like this wine and certainly did not find it to have a "lovely, balanced structure."
I tasted this without food.
