While at dinner with my folks I ordered this wine with a sweet chili chicken dish and it wasn't half bad. The color was bright red, with a heavy amount of cherries on the nose. It wasn't too dry as expected but just enough to my liking, and was still able to give out a little more of that fruity cherry taste as well. The finish was relatively complex and balanced, but nothing super special. However the real kicker was when I tasted it with the sweet chili chicken, which brought out the tannins a lot more and gave it a much drier feel. Even better so was when I tasted it with sweet potatoes. I swear I had never felt a wine more balanced and smooth than this wine combine with sweet potatoes. Simply out of this world. (I wasn't able to get a picture of it at the restaurant, but this should do nicely)
