I found the wine to have an herb taste. The overall taste was lighter than its ruby color would indicate. Its medium finish was subtle and pleasing. I bought the wine on sale. At its regular price I would consider returning to it after trying others.

Decanted 90 minutes. Dark, purple body. Nose is over ripe red and purple fruits, funky yeast notes reminiscent of baking scents but not in an elegant way. Taste is big and fruity, primary with some spice. This wine is not enjoyable on its own and requires hearty food, more spicy the better.
This wine seems to have better ratings a few years back, which leads me to believe its best years are behind it and cellaring will not help.

Luscious red blend with dark cherries and five spice.

Drunk several nights ago, no detailed notes, but a very solid weeknight wine, great QPR at $12 / btl.
