Not bad, but not up to expectations either at this price point. Four people tried it, and all were sort of meh about it, and none wanted a second pour.. Not well balanced, with a hint of sharpness, perhaps too much alcohol compared to the fruit? No impression that it will improve with age.

Didnt do a ton for me, a little muted on the nose with some red fruit and pencil shavings — the oak is definitely frames it with some baking spice. The palate is medium acid, medium tannins, definitely meant to be an easy-drinking style. Some red fruit and oak driven notes.
I know this is the winery’s easy-drinking wine, but with a touch more depth it could live up to the brand name. Many will enjoy, but could be better.

Picking up Oak on the nose, and not much bouquet. Seems muddled and/or somewhat nondescript on the palate. Picking up some bitterness on the aftertaste. Decent enough wine, but just didn’t do much for me.
