Wine Expert Breaks Down Wine Descriptors | Bottle Service | Food & Wine

F&W Wine Director, Ray Isle breaks down commonly found descriptors on wine bottles. Was the Cabernet Sauvignon bottled with blackberries in it? Definitely not - but then why does it smell like it was? What about a Chardonnay? What role does acidity play in wine? Why does syrah wine smell peppery? What does age do to wine?

But you don't have to know everything about wine to enjoy it. You just need to drink it.
