I was looking forward to drinking this field blend of 30% Montepulciano, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, 10% Marselan, and 10% Alicante Bouschet. However, the flavors I encountered were a sweet note of maraschino cherry, plus cedar, baking spices, new leather and charred barrel. In other words, this wine had lots of oak on it. Was this use of oak covering the poor quality of the fruit? Hmmm...

This wine is still a little tightly wound. You will want to decant it.
