Winemaker Review: A decadent red blend that combines red fruit flavors with notes of caramel and a velvety smooth mouthfeel. (Source: http://www.apothic.com/wines/crush.html)

My Review: This wine was a deep red, burgundy color. There was a strong black pepper aroma with hints of red and black berries to follow. It had a medium body, and felt very smooth on the entire palate. The finish lasted for about 10 seconds. I tasted this wine without food and did not particularly enjoy it. I think it would definitely benefit from being served with a steak dinner.
