Quite a fantastic QPR on this wine! No formal TN, but my wife and I nearly drained this bottle while cooking at the beachhouse. Delicious tart cherry fruit, leather and tobacco, beautiful med+ acidity and some astringent, gritty tannins that give nice structure. This wine is drinking nicely now and will continue to do so through 2018+. Very nice.

Earthy and tobacco notes, tart red cherry and faint plum skin notes. Complex and quite well balanced. Great med/med+ acidity, nice with food, med tannins that are well rounded and a bit astringent, just the way I like them. Drinks well now through 2018.

Ruby red with dark burnt orange edges. It had aromas of cherries and cocoa. It was balanced, smooth and clean with flavors of cherry cola. The finish was dry and medium.

I did not get a chance to taste this wine (my last one from a 6 pack), consumed at a party with friends.
