  Dark plum color. Nose of dark berries, vanilla, and smoke. On the palate, it adds a little mineral. Big, coating mouthfeel, where the oak/vanilla is prominent along with grippy tannins. This feels and tastes like a new world wine to me - maybe central coast - and I don't mean that in a good way. I wanted something unique. What I got here seems generic and mass-produced.

  Rich garnet color, spice and dark fruits on the nose, medium body, some complexity. Similar flavor profile to a Rhône blend. Great qpr. Very nice everyday drinker!

  Nose of plum, raspberry, earth, minerals, graphite, and tobacco. Tart cherry, plum, red cherry, spice, touch of citrus, earth, and minerals on the palate. Hint of barrel at the end. Good acidity, grippy tannins, medium finish. Really quite nice and easy to drink. The price is kind of amazing for a wine this good.

  Great red, VERY drinkable with low bite and a lot of fruit. Amazing on the nose. Can’t believe how easy it goes down. Quick to finish but enjoyable upfront.

  Spicy, dark fruit, well balanced, quite linear and simple, but well made. 87-89
