Winery Review: "In this wine, almost equal proportions of Grenache and Syrah yield a steady balance between plush, easy black fruit and darker notes of peppery herb and granite. Fleshy and full bodied yet bright with acidity, it's an appealing wine marked by delicate touches of dark chocolate, bramble and sweet spice."
My Review: So I went to buy a bottle of wine, but I was only drinking wine for myself and had just learned about the different wine sizes so I got this interesting half bottle. There was a lot of fruit flavor, specifically berries and even more specifically, blackberries. I thought there was a little bit of cherry in it and thought the taste was similar to cherry cordial. It was a dry wine and drier than the Pinot Noir from last week. It was also sharp at the end of its taste. My friend also tried it and got some cacao from the wine. I guess I paired it with some beef and olives. It was good with the beef, but was very not good with the olives which was interesting to me. I thought it was a pretty good wine, but I'm not sure if I would get it again because of the dryness.
