Extremely dark, almost a petite sirah style. It's got a very fruit forward flavor, with strong notes of vanilla. This felt more of a wine that needed to be paired with something that cut through the thickness, as we had it to drink by itself. While others I was drinking it with really loved it, I think it was a bit too much of a one-note wine without any interesting subtleties. However, it definitely is an interesting wine I'd say works almost as a dessert wine if paired excellently.

Nothing wrong with it. But didn't stand out either. Balanced on the darker, jammier side. Dark fruit. Bass notes. Not much finish.

Dark color, fruit and vanilla in the nose. Red fruit on the palate, some acidity, but nice and long aftertaste.

Cherries, jammy, juicy, but with just enough acidity to hold it all together. Nice weeknight wine.
