A charmingly dusty nose with a splash of preserved black cherry. P: med body, med+ tannins, med acid, med+ alcohol. Some baked fruit (grenache?) and a hint of green stemminess, but overall a nicely balanced, flavorful wine! $12.
Nose of toffee, black liquorice, black cherry liqueur. Med+ body, med alcohol, med+ acidity, doesn't show an ounce of it's alleged 14.9% alcohol, very nice acidity, and a clean finish with med- tannic grip and a light preserved cherry aroma on the finish. Tastes warm, sunny, and ripe - immediately puts me back in the Plumpjack winery tasting room. For ~$25, not bad!
Blast of detergent fruit with an undertone of dried apricot. In the mouth, juicy and candy-esque. I'd like a lot more acid, but it's certainly sweet and fruity.
