Juicy nose with gobs of cherries, strawberries, and plums. Just a hint of musk. Soft and pliable. Still some alcohol spice but it has calmed down and mellowed out at this stage. Paired with smoked ribs.

Pop and pour. Fruit bomb, but rather pleasant. The nose was pretty elegant for a $20 wine. Lots of dark cherries, raspberries, and dark fruit. On the palate it is quite sweet, but was expecting that, and tasty. Drinks very easily. This wine doesn't try to be anything else - just a really good everyday drinking wine that goes well with food. No discussions on it, just drink and enjoy. Its a great QPR. This is what a serious $20 should drink like. Great wine.

Dark ruby in color. Low viscosity. Overripe raspberries and a small amount of oak on the nose. Medium complexity with low acidity and high tannins. Mild dark fruit profile with a short finish. Quite good

P/w 3 hr decant. Deep purple, very slight minor sediment. Ave nose. This was somewhat disappointing. Extracted, heavy, dark brooding fruit profile, tannins, earthy, a bit tired as it lacked freshness. Maybe held too long.

Overly sweet, no structure. I was expecting a fruit bomb and I got it.
