Winery review: "Intense ruby red color. Red fruits, black-cherry on the nose. Sapid, balanced acidity, soft tannins, medium-bodied. Rich first courses, red and roasted meats" - Missy M. Touton, Vintage Cellar wine tasting
My Review: I did not feel as though this wine had a very bold taste, but contained a dry after taste. With a new like Ares, named for the Greek god of war, I expected rich bold flavors to hit me right away, but did not feel as though it did that. It had a very grape-like smell and I could taste cherries, but felt the alcohol after taste wasn't pleasant. I could see how this wine could be paired with a roasted meat, as mentioned in the review above, and feel as though the meet may mellow out some of that alcohol taste.
I did not taste this wine with any food.
