Clear, dark red in the glass with some slight bricking. Nice Bordeaux nose of black fruits, graphite, earth, copper. Lush and juicy in the mouth; black fruit, woodsmoke and graphite up front, some cranberry coming out midpalate, then onto a short metallic finish. Good acidity, tannins. 13 % alcohol, paid around $12.

basically crap! very watery with oak on the palate and very little fruit(bing cherries). decent amount of acid. Thought I would give it a try for $ 12.00 and I got exactly that. Would never buy again.

Tannic with blackberry and casis in the back; strong future potential.

No major flaws, but nothing exciting here. I've had better Bordeaux in the $10-15 range. Light fruit without any compelling reason to drink.
