P: Med body, RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt (I suspect threshold R.S.) met by some puckerish astringency which morphs into a LONG, tangy/swt (30:70) finish with hints of spice to the very, VERY slight bitterness. For now & into '21? 14.5% ABV; My VG/VG+. [This vendor's $14.95 is at least $1 < its closest wine-searcher competitor.]

Jam and grassy nose, initial tastes of dark fruit and balanced. Interesting fruit roll up finish that becomes drowned out by alcohol. Great QPR and with red meat. Will buy again at the 16 dollar price

A little on the jammier side than the previous bottle but still good. Very soft tannins that allowed the fruit to show through. Cherry with oak and chocolate with hints of thyme. A good every day wine and good value.

Had high hopes for this but was disappointed. Very over-manipulated.
