Saturday, March 27, 2021 - Nice wine, very rich and red velvety on the nose, full and flavorful on the palate with full ripe cherry and even some raspberry notes. There’s acid here for sure but it’s very well balanced with the ripe fruit. There’s a lot of oak on this otherwise lighter wine, maybe a bit much but it’s still pretty flavorful. If you’re not a fan of noticeable oak in your wine this one may not be for you but I do find it to be in my wheelhouse, but just barely :-) personally, I would buy this again and at about $20 I think it’s good value, but if I had my druthers I’d back off on the oak and we’d be looking at 90 pots +, YMMV :-)
