  This has not gone really gone anywhere over time. Could age longer, but there doesn’t seem to be much hidden complexity here.

  I too got this one from the Garyvee wine club, but have seen it pedaled numerous times since on Cindy (cinderellawine.com), and would agree with the previous comments about it being a ~$15 (max) type throw-in wine, and not quite getting to the trio of 90 pt. pro scores either, personally. Not that it's bad; it's a fine pizza/pasta type wine, just a bit overhyped is all.
  
  Medium ruby color. Aromas of cherry, tar, black tea, and herbs. Light to medium body, medium finish, medium(+) acid, and flavors of cherry, lemon, orange peel, black tea, and spice. Not a rebuy for me in the $17-20 range I'm seeing it for. If it popped up at $10, that might be a different story.

  A nose of muted fruit and some spice, medium garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, plum, some licorice and some spice on finish, decent pizza wine. www.winelx.com

  Just ok, pair with some pasta in red sauce and meatballs. Leaned a bit too acidic for me.

  Opened and left in bottle, poured a glass and recorked. Tasted after about an hour in glass and then consumed more throughout the evening.
  
  Nose was dried cherries, cocoa, tar. Palate is more cherry (mostly red cherries than black), tea leaves, some herbs. Decent finish that is still pretty gripped with tannins.
  
  Day 2 it was a drinking a bit more mellowed, although the secondary flavors of tea/cocoa that I was getting on day 1 had dissipated to more of a primarily fruit and mineral experience.
  
  Received this as part of the GaryVee monthly wine club where it was touted as a $50 wine. I would have been pretty miffed if I had paid 50 bucks for this. $15 dollar wine at best, and judging by the previous vintages of this wine on CT and their average prices, that seems to be what it was retailing for.
