Tasting Notes
The wine is hot like the southern night, thick and enshrouding. Figs in chocolate, cherries with rum, truffles, noble anise, and a little smoke—numerous flavors can be found in this glass. This assemblage of Saperavi and Tempranillo is made by the method of “appassimento” from dried berries—hence the pleasant tartness, sweetness, and rich color. The wine got its name from the name of the ancient building Kara Kermen (which means Black Fortress), which stood on the territory of the modern city of Ochakiv, near Beykush winery.
