| | Tasted by lindauer7 on 12/30/2019 & rated 91 points: Fun to drink and crowd pleasing, without being over the top. Dark fruits as the name suggests. Really well made and a great value. (1395 views) |
| | Tasted by Kentw on 9/21/2019 & rated 89 points: Similar to last note, a bit more austere. Day 2 dark chocolate notes prevail. Good but not as consistent as previous bottle. (1590 views) |

| | Tasted by Kentw on 12/15/2017 & rated 90 points: Full body with nice balance of black fruits, freshness, spice and finishing tannin. It is at a good stage right now. You can taste blackberry and black cherry followed by a smooth mid palate and mild tannin on the finish. Great QPR 90+. (1953 views) |
| | Tasted by kevrob822 on 10/25/2017 & rated 88 points: Another Fine 88 Pointer. For the price, a nice wine. It was nice with a Deemer’s Burger & Fries! (2248 views) |

| | Tasted by mjm226 on 2/12/2017 & rated 88 points: Paired with chili and it complemented well. Definitely fruit forward but decent depth. Not jammy and tannins well integrated. If looking to pair with a spicy dish, this is a good value (3204 views) |

| | Tasted by snarfglk on 7/1/2016 & rated 88 points: Maybe an off bottle? Did not live up to previous experiences with Black and Blue. (4055 views) |
| | Tasted by Tim and Bonnie on 6/7/2016 & rated 90 points: A year and a half since last taste and it's more integrated, still fruity, not as jammy. Enjoyable. Try it with a bite of Lindt black current dark chocolate, you won't be able to discern where the chocolate stops and the wine starts. Very good! (2636 views) |
| | Tasted by samalexis on 4/17/2016 & rated 90 points: Great Wine for the price. Paired with grilled lamb and as usual it did not disappoint. Solid wine (2405 views) |
| | Tasted by TheWineCop on 3/28/2016 & rated 91 points: Beautiful dark purple with loads of dark fruit, plum and black cherry on the nose. Rich Cocoa and toasted oak finish. I love this wine. Need more! (2320 views) |
| | Tasted by mjm226 on 3/14/2016 & rated 89 points: Paired with spicy Spanish shrimp dish and it complimented it very well. Lots of fruit, but good depth. This wine continues to grow on me. (1944 views) |
| | Tasted by kevrob822 on 2/16/2016 & rated 88 points: Very similar to the last notes. Color was another dull red. A bit of a briary aroma, but nice... rich and dark. Taste mirrors it closely... Very nice. Continues as a Very Nice QPR and 88 Points. (757 views) |
| | Tasted by nmoreilly on 2/12/2016 & rated 90 points: Getting much better. Dark red, purple inky color. Rasberry, dark red cherry, milk chocolate, tar vanilla, white toast on the nose. Nicely balanced array of plum, cherry, black current with a mild sweetness. This really is a good wine. Drank two of them, one left (2241 views) |
