**The Vintage Cellar ran out of a lot of the wines this week, so they gave us some different wines to taste. This is why I am using shop reviews from other sites.**

My Review: This wine smelt like a strawberry rhubarb pie. It was very dry and very tart but it I definitely tasted some of the same flavors that I smelt. I also tasted some vanilla in this wine. Overall, I do not think that this is a wine that I would purchase for my own enjoyment, but I did enjoy the fruitier finish to this red wine. 

Food: I drank this wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting, so I was unable to pair any foods to this wine.
