A little too much in your face fruit, needing a tad more structure. Full on boysenberry/casis "berry pie" type experience on the palate...hold and serve with food that is on the heavier nature...Nothing wrong with this though, but perhaps would better as a general house red or something for folks who are new to wine to enjoy.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and black pepper. It tastes like black pepper, clove and blackberry. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

A previous bottle that I drank had an unusual fruit tone to it. But this seems to have integrated and has good fruit to it. Not complex, but pleasant.

This wine tied for first place in a blind tasting of 10 red blends under $20.
