Shop review: "A ruby-red wine with full flavors of ripe red fruits and a hint of spice. Pinnacoli has flavors of wild strawberry through the palate, finishes with a rich fullness and hints of cinnamon.
Roasted and spiced meats, pasta with meat sauce, game, and spicy cheeses."
My review: Sweet aroma of dark berries, and what I described at first as sweet BBQ sauce but is probably just brown sugar... oops. Full bodied and tannic. This is another one of those wines that leaves you with a very dry mouth. Yet the finish is somewhat smooth. Not bad, probably wouldn't drink this again because of the dryness, unless it was paired with something to balance it.
I tasted this wine without food.
