Dark plum red, medium body. Notes of black cherry, spice, licorice. Fruit is a bit subdued and straightforward, a little hot with medium finish. Very drinkable and an outstanding value for $8.

Nice black fruits on the smooth palate; no blatant oak and tannins are well integrated. Like this better than the heavily oaked Altos bottling. Would be a nice botle at $15 much less $6.99.

took about 20 minutes for the bottle to blow off some stink....When it opened, it was quite good for a $7.00 pop and pour.....Aged nicely....

Smoke and dark fruit on the nose, black raspberry, spice, smoke, and game on the palate. Medium tannins and a medium dark fruit finish.
