Top Notes For
Antonella Criscola

Smell: strong hints of blackberry with a mix of oak and vanilla notes.
Taste: strong hints of raspberry and blackberry with some cherry. Off dry wine, with medium acidity and medium-high tannins. Full bodied red with an intense flavor
Appearance: clear liquid with a medium-intense ruby color.
Conclusion: one of my favorite reds so far, very nice, low intensity finish.

Intense red fruit flavor, sour plum-dark sour cherry flavor, not smooth on the finish but a subtlety sweet after taste, deep jelly color

Very very tart. Red fruit notes. Blackberry and mainly plum to me. I am not fond of this at all. Extremely bitter.

This wine has a distinctly oaky, maple-y, and fruity smell to it. Upon tasting, it has a very sweet notes of blackberries and jelly. I like this wine but I believe after a glass or two I may not enjoy the sugary taste.

First tastes like cherry as well as blackberry with an oaky aftertaste. Has intense tannins that you can feel in your mouth after each sip. Feels somewhat heavy.

Getting stone fruits from the aroma. Maybe even some blackberry. More on the dry side. Not a super strong body. Somewhat acidic.

strong full bodied wine, dark red color with slightly sour aftertaste - definitely dark stone fruits (mainly plum) stronger burn [probably due to higher ABV%]

Rich, red berries on the nose. Great ripe, red fruits on the palate, slightly sour, and delish!
