My Review

I really liked this wine! I actually tried it and enjoyed the fruity flavors and the tannins, but accidentally left it open on the counter for about 2 hours. I tried it again after it had been sitting, and it was more fruity and slightly floral. I thought it was delicious and pretty cool that an accidental leave out enhanced the wine so much. I did not taste this wine with food, but I plan to buy it again so I will likely pair it with steak or salami.
