Certainly inky and fruit forward. A little too much dark fruitiness and not quite as much of a punch as a great Petite Sirah will give. It tastes a bit fabricated. However, let's remember what one pays for this bottle, and not expect too much. This is a perfectly acceptable daily sipper, though nothing you'll be wowed over. 84-85 pts.

Muted fruit with a very chalky nose and taste. Crush up some vitamin C chewables, add some chalk and too ripe artificial fruit flavors and you have how this wine tastes.

Lots of black fruit, good balance. A nice floral note really helps brighten it up. Better day 2. Really good. Buy more.
