Easy drinking crowd-pleaser. Cassis on the nose and to taste, some oak with a hint of tannin on the finish. Not much in the way of tertiary flavors so fairly one dimensional and a bit sweeter than I like. Cocoacomiccraft's comment about a hint of honey says it well. A pleasant evening sipper, no food required. A decent sub $20 wine. But perhaps not so much at the current pricing.

Loads of bold cherry aromas and a hint of tobacco. Smooth cherry flavors and an earthy quality of loamy tannins that are mild even into a fairly dry but not oppressive finish. A little too much sweet fruit for my taste.
A fair value but not impressive.

Drinking nicely. Round fruit, nice nose, and soft finish. The tannins are laid down. Very good with a veal chop.

Fruit and oak on the nose. Blackberry, cinnamon, hint of honey.
Palate of creme de cassis. Young and firm tannins. No acid. Medium alcohol.
