Winery Review: From the rare Alicante Bouchet, one of the few grapes in the world with red flesh this wine has a plush texture carrying flavors of brandied cherry and chocolate ganache in this round red. Light tannins and gentle acidity impart a lovely, balanced texture.
My Review: Deep red in color. I received a smell of blueberry but there was again a overpowering rubbing alcohol smell that encompassed my nasal passage making it not the most desirable aroma. I tasted a tart apple apple flavor, but also found hints of vegetable such broccoli with a spicy finish.
Food?:  did not pair with food.
