Opened for pizza night. Tight tannins and dry finish, but not unpleasant. Nice up-front fruit and leather. Amazing value, would buy some more even if I couldn't get it for $6.00.

Leather along with red and black fruit on the nose. A little forest floor too. More black fruit on the palate. Some spice. Medium to full bodied. dried flowers. Black currants and black coffee. Day 2 - a little disjointed. Still dark. Tobacco. A little greeness on the backend. Tree bark. Awkward.

Extremely tight on the pop and pour. Harsh and unimpressive. Not really by plan but this wine went unfinished and sat on my counter for 3 days. On the 3rd day it is far more yielding but still super dense, tight and far from falling apart. The red and black fruit is quite in balance with the structure. A very impressive wine for $10. A good one to pop open and have around for a few days.

Cedar, spicy box, copper peeny aromas. Black and red fruits but they've clearly started to fade a bit. Feels a bit tired.

Earthy, tar, mint, and great complexity for this priced to drink wine. Great value and enjoyable.
