Winery Review:
“The 2008 Senda 66 spent 8 months in new French oak. Purple/black in color, it sports a fragrant nose of spice box, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry. Smooth-textured, layered, and remarkably rich on the palate for its humble price, this lengthy effort will drink nicely over the next 5-6 years.” -90 Points, Robert Parker
My review:
Smell - Upon smelling this wine, I got a lot of light red fruits, different from other red wines I've had. I also got some Blackberry. Overall it seemed really hollow, but there was a cinnamon component too which made it more interesting.
Taste - This wine was quite bitter but really bright in my mouth. It was a little spicy with some pepper flavors coming through. On the back end it was again bitter and a little hot with lots of tannins coming through in the aftertaste. I wasn't a fan of this wine because I felt it didn't bring a lot of good flavors.
I tasted this wine without food.
