Clear ruby in color; closed muted nose of must, cherry, a bit of cedar; still some decent fruit, cherry and raisin, on the palate; lightly structured and somewhat weak body; minimal finish. Pleasant but not pleasing, if that makes sense. I would serve this at a picnic, but not at a sit-down meal with discerning oenophiles. I don't dislike this wine, but I don't like it enough to buy again.

Was initially promising when I first tried it two years ago so I bought a case. Unfortunately, it just keeps getting worse each time I try it. Fruit faded fast and now it is developing a bitter finish.

I found this to be a little too acidic. I let it sit for a day in the fridge (vacuum sealed) and it did open up a little bit. Still, I found the wine to lack structure and depth.

Very disappointing, nothing on the nose or on the palate. Food coloring in water? Maybe..
