Fruity nose, dark, deep garnet-plum color, big fruit bomb with jammy dark berries with a little heat and spice past mid palate, very light tannins, a short finish. Not much complexity or structure - this wine begs to be consumed with food, not a sit and sip drink. Not a bad QRP - bought on sale for $12.20. .

Strong blackcurrant on the nose with other dark berries, also had a strong smoky oak component. A bit thin in the mouth almost like a tree bark or a fresh tree branch. Finish was quick and crisp with some cashews lingering then turning to a slight dry bitterness.
