Winery Review: 

-" From the rare Alicante Bouchet, one of the few grapes in the world with red flesh this wine has a plush texture carrying flavors of brandied cherry and chocolate ganache in this round red. Light tannins and gentle acidity impart a lovely, balanced structure."   


My Review:


-86 Points
-I was not a huge fan of this wine in the slightest. On the nose, it was very grassy, with almost the scents of wet rocks or an ant pile. To the taste, it was very much bland and earthy. I did not catch any of the flavors stated in the winery review. I tried this wine on its own without food.
