Tasting: Attimo Winery AD 325

•Country- United States
•Year- 2010

•Shop/wine critic/winery review- Dry red with bold flavors and cherry undertones( From tasting menu)
•Your review- From the description from the server, this wine was very intriguing, it was made in a way that was similar to how wine would've been made back in AD 325, and it interested us very much. Upon pouring it became quite evident how red this wine really was, had a very nice dark red color with some hints of purple and looked very inviting. After swirling the wine, the nose on this wine nearly exploded, and was very evident without even placing my nose in the glass. The main flavor I noticed on the nose was the cherry, it was sort of the sour cherry smell you would get from an old world wine, and was quite good. Taking a sip of this wine was quite a let down, the taste was well balanced on the tongue, but the taste just appeared to be missing something. The wine was decent overall, but I can't pinpoint what it was missing, but there was something and it threw off the overall flavor of the wine.
- I did not have food with this wine tasting
