Vintage Cellar Wine Review: Proprietor's Red Blend. This wine is ripe and juicy with expressive flavors of cherries and plums. It is dark and aromatic with crisp acidity, nice structure and a lush finish. Made to pair with a wide variety of foods, this red wine is a must for everyday enjoyment or teaming with your favorite grilled and outdoor cuisine.
My Personal Wine Review: The color was an interesting darker and brown red. The smell was a combination of spice, oak, and cherries. Because of the "oaky" smell I thought this might also taste kind of burned, but surprisingly it had a smooth mid-palate and finish. The taste was dry and had some tar flavor and texture aspect. I enjoyed this wine, but I doubt I will remember this one as this tasted similar to other red wines I have had.
I did not have food with this wine.
