Winery Review: This red from the Coreto range has loads of dark berry fruit with a hint of new oak creating a soft, velvet structure that makes it very to easy drink. Red currant and juicy acidity.
My Review: This wine is a purple-plum color. It has aromas of berries, strawberry and raspberry. This follows through on the palette with lots of jam and a hint of spice, maybe some black pepper. There was just a bit of heat from the alcohol in the finish. Overall I enjoyed this wine as an easy drinker but it could be so much better when paired with food. I tried this without food.
