This has that cheap wine aroma when you first open it, but it blows off after a while. Not a bad wine for $8. Lots of smoke to it. A decent choice for the 3rd bottle when you have friends over.

Simple but interesting nose and palate of dirty smoky cherries. All in all I much preferred the 03 which was Syrah based vs this unusual mix of Merlot, Sangiovese, Alicant Bouchet, Zinfandel, and Mourvedre. Odd, but not bad. Would be good with some smoked meats.

Very approachable, drink right now, bottle of juice. This was the third bottle of the Thanksgiving day. A tasty blend of Syrah, etc. For the price, this is a bargain.

Decent everyday wine, not bad for $7 but honestly coming from Cline I was actually expecting a little more depth. It had been stored in the kitchen though and so there may have been slight heat damage.
