Shop Review: "Ruby red color, it has a good body and persistent aroma with hints of cherry spice. In the mouth, it reveals itself as soft, fresh and pleasantly balanced." -Vias Import Limited

My Review: This red wine was a little dryer than I had liked with a decent amount of heat that came with each sip. I did enjoy the blackberry flavor and a hint of sweet raspberries. The immediate and middle taste tended to be dryer but the lingering taste was sweeter. I prefer sweeter wines, but there was a decent mixture between a dry and sweet taste.

I drank this wine with cheese and crackers. The cheese helped make the wine have less lingering heat with the after taste. The wine had a dry after taste, also, so the cheese and crackers helped to change up after taste and make the wine more enjoyable.
