Wine Review: "Cherry, plum and spice on the nose. Medium body. Tart cherry and spicy vanilla upfront gives way to undertones of tobacco. More than I'd expect from a 7 dollar bottle." 3.5 Stars (JK; Vivino)
My Review: My boyfriend and I went backpacking this weekend. Our only requirement for the wine we brought with us was that it needed it be a screw cap, since we forgot to pack a corkscrew. For the price, this wine was fantastic. Since we also for got to pack cups, it was hard to smell much besides a woody jam. On its own it had a spiced wood taste with a slightly astringent, yet fruity aftertaste. With the rice we had, the spiciness was cut and there was some fruit noticeable. With the packet of hickory smoked flavored tuna packet, all the wood and spice flavors were gone and the wine tasted like cherries. This was a perfect wine for a cold night.
