This is a fruit bomb, but very smooth. Some blood, bay leaf licorice on the nose and bay leaf, cherries, blackberries on the palate with slight pepper on the finish. I usually dislike this kind of wine, with bright fruits and low tannins and acidity but this is smooth and drinking nicely. Only downside is that it is slightly sweet. Again, not my stile but well made and good for the price.

Probably drank it too soon as it was a major fruit bomb out of the bottle and seemed quite immature. That said, it mellowed out tremendously after sitting out for a while and paired quite nicely with the spicy special meatloaf and applesauce I made for dinner.

This is a very good wine with a very long finish. It goes down incredibally smooth. One of my favorite blends!

Excellent wine for the $$. Very fruity and excellent with food or alone with cheeses.

Not bad for so little money. Good tame fruit. A little lacking on the finish, but overall a good buy.
