Website review: “A delicately pleasing nose of soft black fruit, clove, and toasty oak aromas, over notes of vanilla and herbs. Gentle on the palate, with ripe blackberry, dark cherry, peppery spice, and a hint of earth. Smooth and balanced finish.”
My review: Number 2 of the Wine Wednesday fun. Smelled O-A-K-Y and earthy. It reminded me of eating a tree. Like if you just bit off a piece of bark and leaves. But believe it or not, it was pleasant to drink. I picked up some vanilla maybe which was nice and it had low tannin and more oaky taste. It tasted super earthy too but spicey as well...I'll have some pepper with my dirt. It didn't pair super wonderfully with the dip, but it wasn't like it was bad or anything. They were just very different. Maybe that's a good thing?
Food: Crawfish and Artichoke Dip
