wondersofwine Does not like this wine:
February 20, 2018 - 14.5% abv. This is the "reserve" bottling from Wild Horse I did not really care for it. It was viscous, darkly colored and opaque. It gave a medley of contrary impressions--cherry fruit (dark cherries), tart pome-granate, high acid, something subtly smoky or earthy. The fairly high alcohol content was noticeable. I would not purchase again.

September 2, 2013 - Ruby colored with Fast Legs. Sweet Aroma. Robust Tobacco and Smoky Fruit flavors that disintegrated after a few minutes in the glass. Drink quickly after opening as this psychotic wine went from a 90 to and 85 or less in a half hour's time.

February 5, 2013 - Smokey, barny, and lovely. Light in color, and a little delicate. Great complexity.
