  Ruby color. Cherries, earthy elements, vanilla, and a bit of alcohol on the nose. Light to medium body with soft, slightly chalky tannins and tart acidity. Initially nice on the palate but an herbal element pops out, which was a bit to prominent. A fairly short finish which shows the herbal element and a touch of alcohol. Not bad as a week night pizza wine, but not much more. Wasn't expecting too much since this only cost $6.64, and it met expectations.

  Soft black cherry nose, short cherry palate. Finish was mildly acidic with prevalent alcohol.
