I should have kept some notes on the first bottle I tried. It was apparently not memorable, but this one was, and not in a good way. The oak was too overwhelming. Day 2 was not any better. In the end, it's just a good looking label.

Imagine a charcoal drawing of cherries with a thin coating of dark chocolate. They are sitting on top of a wood table next to a leather chair. There is some greenery for effect. Falling from the top of the picture is a single raspberry. Great tannic structure - enjoy!

Deep garnet color, bouquet of blackberries and coffee. This wine is very fruit forward with some zin spice, but the heat from the high alcohol makes you forget much of what you just tasted. Medium finish - recommend decanting this for an hour or so to let this open up.
