February 11, 2017 - Hmmm...I'm running through some of the higher-end K Vintners bottles and this is one of the better ones. Very long finish is a plus, as is the fact that it seems to be still solid on Day 2. However, initial flavors are less than remarkable. One other reviewer wrote "muted," and that's fair. More boysenberry and cherry than dark fruit. Prefer Aussie or Santa Barbara fruit at this price point, to be honest. Definitely not worthy of a certain number bestowed by a certain expert. Probably won't buy it again.
