Campo Viejo The Red Blend 2019

Rich, plush burgundy with deep, inky hues, and a rich nose that unfolds with earthy undertones, tobacco, and nutmeg. The fruit whispers are well-balanced, with blackberry, strawberry jam, and sour cherry adding depth and a touch of tartness. The tannins are prominent, but the in summary body is velvety and rounded, with a pleasing lasting impression that hangs on the palate. A truly special wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, showcasing grilled meats and asparagus, and is sure to impress with its elegant finish.

Well-balanced and balanced wine with a medium body and a peppery finish, making it a versatile pairing option for a wide range of dinner menus.

Wine with a fruity and sweet profile, but lacks nuance and complexity. The flavor profile is driven by by layers of grape syrup, cherry, jam, blueberry, and raisin, which may appeal to some, but not this reviewer. The color is also quite purple, which may be off-putting to those who prefer lighter hues.
