Winery Review:
The goal of winemaking for this wine is a Bordeaux style blend which is a lighter, less tannic style for every day pleasure. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel and pressed off the skins two thirds of the way through fermentation, and then allowed to finish fermentation. This creates a fresh, fruit forward red wine. Bottled in February 2011.
My Review:
This was a nice light red wine, seems like it'd be good for meals with meat as the main dish served to people who prefer lighter wines. It was refreshing without being too heavy.
I tried this alone without food.
