In appearance, the Kimmel Redessence is a dark onyx garnet purple color in the glass. Little light shown through the wine. The wine was quite leggy with lots of slow moving, skinny legs inside the glass.
The wine opens with a fragrant burst of blackberry and red currant bouquet with just a hint of anise. On the palate, this wine is a fruit forward bomb. The flavor of blackberry, spiced cherry, ripe blueberry coat your palate with a savory port like finish, a medium bodied, very nicely balanced, and smooth red blend.
This is a red wine that any red wine lover would really enjoy, great served with a meal or simply all on it's own.
