Great blend. Give it a bit of time. There is a lot going on. Bit earthy the right from bottle. But after an hour delightful. Full bodied. Cherries currants big surprise. Great quality for price. Buy more

This might be helpful - from the merchant's website: "61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Malbec, 10% Petite Sirah, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Zinfandel." Which is what I suppose they call a blend. I agree with the flavor profile mentioned below, but I probably benefited from having decanted it for 3 hours beforehand. On night two, it was even better. Quite rich and friendly at the same time (how many people can we say that about?). One of the best uses of $25 to date.

PnP. Medium/full bodied. Dark cherry, licorice, and musty earth. Reminiscent of a full bodied, fruit forward Bordeaux. Showed improvement after a couple hours of air, but a bit too much of the barnyard thing going on to really fit my preferred flavor profile.

Consistent with my last note -- seriously a lot of polish and flavor for $25.
