Dense and fruity. Ripe wild cherries, petrol, a touch of black licorice. Finish is a little on the hollow side, but there is a nice persistent cherry flavor.

Served at Christmas open house. Deep purple color. Dark berries and fruit on the nose with hints of wet leaves. Noted the "rubbery" smell described by others. It made me think of "production" smells in an mass-manufactured sense. Very easy drinking wine. Good choice for the occasion as many came back for more. Dark, ripe fruit flavors with cola overtones and hints of chocolate. A bit of chewy earthiness in the mid-palate. Finished with slightly harsh tannins.

Nice non-offensive red with flavors of plum, blackberry and hints of vanilla. Medium finish. Fairly well integrated tannins. Good value for price.

Concentrated corporate wine. Grapy. I get some wet leaves. For the price, it's not a bad bottle.
