This is an old review I wrote for another site
This is another one of the Yadkin Valley wines that I had during my rather pleasant layover at Charlotte International. As with the other wines during my tasting experience there, I of course couldn't get that freshly opened bottle aroma that I love so much. But, of course you can always get just as good of a smell from a nice pouring of the wine as I did here. The aroma you get from this wine is pretty nice with some pleasing fruit smells. The most notable of these fruit smells was what I believed to be plum with maybe a little currant though the currant was very subtle. As for the taste of this wine, you really get a lot of great flavours that really round out this nice wine. The plum taste carries over pretty nicely, and you also get a nice flavour of vanilla to it that gives it a little something special. You also get a bit of a kick with this wine with the slightly stronger taste of alcohol than I generally like, but its nice long finish really made it all even out in my book. Now I didn't have food with this one as it was a pairing, but I really think this would go well with a nice steak, meatloaf or even a nice sun-dried tomato pasta. This is a lovely wine that has a lot going for it which I believe you will love quite a lot, especially if you are already a fan of wines such as merlots or cabernet sauvignons.
