Floral aromas of dark plums, fresh rose petals, orange zest and violets. The wine's tannins are nicely integrated, while the acidity is in the \"just enough\" category. The flavors are a nimble mix of tart red cherries, thyme, dark chocolate and cedar. I particularly appreciated the wine's dialed back alcohol. Quire refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WINEBOW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51390348329266,"sku":"510000000007560","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/MatthewsBlackboardRedWineColumbiaValley.png?v=1782752214","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2021-matthews-blackboard-red-wine-columbia-valley","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
