Winery Review:  The red ruby color and the dry taste give this wine joviality and cordiality. It is fresh and fruity, with lovely strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, with nice spice and a silky texture.

Personal Review:  First smell reminds me of Opera Prima Sweet Red, with scents of cherries and very sweet accents. After tasting, however, I realized how different the smell was from the flavors. It was tart and smokey, like a campfire. Could be paired with a steak, but that might be all. Very little fruit flavors present.
