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 - On the nose, this wine smells like a fruit cup dropped in dirt, or 'floorberries.' The wine tastes almost chalky with hints of pepper and smoke from a cigar. Overall, I was not a fan of this semi-dry wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
