Community Tasting Note

  • Mike Kopanski wrote: 84 points

    December 1, 2012 - They did everything they could to bring us an adequate, value priced wine, and we have to give them credit. It smells and tastes a little manipulated, but still is varietally correct and inoffensive. Rich magenta color. Nose of baked raspberry and oak chips. Almost too rich on the palate for a wine at this price. You get the impression of fruit, but it is not expressive, and acts like a low 80's scored wine. We drank the whole bottle, and ave no complaints about off flavors. A few less oak chips would have been preferable. Not all that bad.
