Quick Review: Benmarl Winery Slate Hill Red
US, NY, Hudson Valley, Benmarl Winery, Slate Hill Red 2011
++ // Spicy-Smooth // Leather, Dried Cherry // Earth, Pepper, Tobacco, a hint of Cherry // Light-Medium
Made
from Long Island grapes, this was a very light red, especially for the
flavor profile. The flavors were light and powerful, and could hold up
to being served slightly chilled. An excellent, versatile table wine.
