  Good. Dark purple. Not much nose. Cherries, leather and bit of tar. A fairly complex wine for the price. Drinks well with food and on its own after dinner. <Wow/Very Good/Good/Fair/Plonk>

  bright dark fruit nose (red plum, rose petals), moderately sharp / acidic nose with alcohol just noticeable. zesty, active, tingly front-to-back. young / raw / green for sure, but pleasantly clean which works with the boldness. medium-light body, mild tannins, medium-light acid late.

  Garnet red. Nose of room temperature grape juice. Decent, quaffable, everyday wine with good QPR. Dominated by mild red fruit notes.

  Opaque deep ruby color ~ On the nose there's black cherry, blueberry, floral notes, oiled flint stone & lots of oak ~ The palate is full bodied with moderate plus acid & tannin with flavors of cherry, strawberry, black plum, vanilla & oak ~ Let this one open up before judging it ~A suprisingly interesting wine for the price

  I bought this wine originally because it made me happy, like a good Burgandy, because my wife loved it, and because it was cheap. But most of the rest of the case was crap. Then I open this one and it is right back where the first one was in terms of quality and QPR. I'm not sure if the wine shut down for a period or the quality is mixed.
  
  Anyway, lite red color. Red cherry juice with a touch of raspberry on the nose. Very lite-bodied with raspberry and some strawberry juice mixed in. Very pleasant. A tiny bit of bitterness on the short finish. A great everyday drinking wine.
