    Couldn’t stop drinking this even though I had to get up early the next morning because I wanted to make sure my friends didn’t drink it all.

    Nice but definitely a "food wine" with cherry and cranberry fruit very prominent. Much calmer the second day.

    Acids overwhelmed what other flavors other tasters seemed to find.

    On night two a very different wine. Much more spicy on the nose with a pronounced pine element on the palate. Intriguing.
