I'm going to disagree with the previous reviews here -- we really loved this wine! Will definitely buy again -- a great value for the price.
Nose: Oak, cinnamon, cherry, prune Body: medium bodied; smooth entry, a touch of sweetness with cinnamon and cloves, middle is oak and tart cherry, and smooth finish with a little of the same spices from the beginning
Very nice, oak is prominent but very well balanced and enjoyable. Not an overwhelming oakiness at all.
