Violet color, nice legs. Green bell pepper city. Some dark cherry, some oak, and capsaicin hell. Don’t think this wine is going to outlive that green.

Pretty nice treat with pizza tonight. Still has the Vio component showing with the tropical nose and little bit of rock candy on the finish. Leather, blackberry, and black cherry on the palate.

14.5% version. Really clunky and chemical tasting. VWE claims they found a few more barrels of BN Hillside in the warehouse, thus the higher abv from the earlier 14%. Shame on VWE for trying to pull a fast one on folks. Tastes like they found of the heavy press wine barrels and dumped some adjunct oak and a few random barrels into a brite tank to get enough for a bottling run. Terrible wine, shows what we can expect from the brand moving forward.
