Critic Review:
Bold flavors of black cherry, boysenberry jam, mild oakiness, cedar. Medium body, cassis black cherry integrated oak tannins and flavors, black pepper, faint echo of black tea on the finish.

My Review: To me, this wine is smooth and buttery with hints of vegetables on the nose and at the end. It isn't begging me for food but food would be good with it. I feel like a simple meat and potatoes meal would be great. I did enjoy this with a soft pretzel with yellow mustard. It didn't necessarily match but it didn't clash. I wouldn't avoid it in the future. I think the buttery notes go well with the breadyness of the pretzel and the mustard balances it out like it does with the pretzel.
