PNP and consumed over a two hour lazy meal of smoked salmon, summer sausage, parmesan, cheddar cheese and toasted crakers. Everything went down extremely well - the whole bottle became mine. Nothing spectactular, just a nice, solid wine.

Deep purple color. Let breathe for 30 min. Nose of black cherry, raspberry, spice & milk chocolate. Ripe red cherry & berry flavors w/plum & chocolate, and red & black licorice notes at end. Dry, meaty & velvety rich.

Nice black cherry aromas, dark ruby color, medium bodied weight and finish, shows dark fruit and cedar on the palate, purity and balance is exceptional for this price. Enjoyable wine.

Very fruity bouquet and on the palate. Pronounced tannins kept it from being more balanced. May benefit from vinturi or decanting. Bet it better the second day

Drunk in 2017. Surprisingly held up well. Blackberries. Thinish but opened up nicely

Perfect age now. Subtle sweet, full, not a grand wine, but fun.

Dark Cherry notes with exceptional tobacco flavor in the finish. Wonderful full bodied wine for its price. I would buy over and over again.

well done wine, full bodied, some chocolate and tobacco, tobacco a bit dominating in the end.

Simple mix of cherry if a bit too much of this. Steady tanginess with nothing much else.

Roasted back cherry flavors. Soft, round tanins. Nice.
