So pretty lush and sexy texture at this point, WS note seems on point, way over-delivers with chewy red licorice fruit, green herbs, and espresso-mocha beans for the price point, equal to many Napa/Sonoma cabs at 2-3X cost. Do get that orange peel too on finish, good sh*t here.

Fruit-driven, with aromas and flavors of ripe black cherry and plum. Absence of oak and resolved tannins lead to a crowd-pleasing wine that's simple and tasty.

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are fast. It smells like red currant, cherry and cedar. It tastes like blackberry, dust, cinnamon and tea. The body is medium. The wine has leathery texture, finishes long and has medium acidity.

13.5 % alcohol, screw top, dark purple, fast legs; tasted right after opening, not vinturied; an intensely delicious wine; fruity, tangy nose -- cherries, prunes, citrus -- especially impacts the sides of the tongue, terrific balance of fruit, sourness & tannins, trace of butterscotch; woody, dry, a rich full-bodied wine, cries out for steak pairing, or just sipping

Deep color, rich style with fruit to match. The nose is a berry /chocolate mix that works well. Soft tannin. Enjoyable.

Ruby in the glass with a deep center, Big ripe mouthfeel, fruit forward style with red berries, cherry, plum and notes of cacao. Nice.
