Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by JAP55 on 6/26/2021 & rated 88 points: Dark ruby with medium intensity notes of blackberry and raspberry.
Dry, high acidity, medium tannin, high alcohol and full body.
Crisp palate of raspberry, a bit of blueberry and some baking spices for a medium finish.
Not necessarily all that complex and, given the screw cap, that is unlikely to change with age but still a very good offering for $27. (486 views)
 Tasted by Poisey on 3/31/2018 & rated 92 points: Blackberry, mint and tar notes. Smooth and dense with integrated oak and vanilla notes on the finish. Round ripe tannin. Fresh and balanced. Drink now- 2022. (1069 views)
 Tasted by Nargh on 8/22/2017 & rated 83 points: Blackberry notes, red berry fruits. A little young. Mellow fruit nose.
The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raisin, pear, vanilla and sandalwood. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), plum and pomegranate. The body is medium. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity. (1105 views)
