A decent wine for $11. Tests a bit like a Malbec, even though it's not. Very earthy. Damp wood is what I taste. Maybe a bit of the ethanol another person noted, but not strong in this bottle. Very tart berries.

- Crimsom color with medium forming legs and aromas of ethanol. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of prune with a medium body. Fleshy texture with a medium finish.

Had a glass with lunch today. Sounded like an interesting blend and I have heard good things about Lake County. Mostly tasted acid and not much else. Surprised to read others saying it is fruity. Maybe The bottle had been opened for too long.

Very fruity. There's a little tannin, a little clove, but it's overwhelmingly jammy.

Far too fruity. We had a tough time finishing the bottle.
