A nice ruby red medium bodied wine with good balance. Lots of currant and strawberry aromas. I was expecting overpowering fruit after the first few sniffs but the raspberry and cherry flavors were well matched with the minerality. This one would probably go well with a variety of foods. Not one for the cellar but a very good QPR@ $14.

Truffle, some tar and aniseed as well as a hint at cinnamon on the nose. Palate has quite good acid and tannin, length is decent as well, but the nose is more interesting than the palate.

Tried at tasting. Fairly clear in glass, medium body. Good nose and tasty on palate. Finish is a little strange and too short.

I'd buy if it was $9.99 on shelf. Not bad with Thai food though.

Wine Wizards Tasting (The Warehouse): A little funky on the nose, but quite fruit forward on the palate.

Agree with wineglas. Although I think it could use a year or two, or a good decant. Drank over 3 days, developed well throughout.

Bonny Doon Tasting in Minneapolis; 6/28/2010-6/29/2010 (Minneapolis): Great fruit forward styled wine with spice, cherry, plum and cigar. Medium finish and great concentration to the wine. Drinking well right now!
