  Color: dark garnet hues with lighter tinge. Some translucency.
  Nose: very mutted nose - rover-ripe plums, wet slate minerality.
  Flavor: Light, exceptionally tart red fruits - tart cherry, mulberries, and crab apples - make up much of the front along with a bit of cured meats, oak and vanilla. Middle is brief with profile maintaining consistency - very little tannin structure. Finish maintains tartness and finish is rather brief. Light bodied and dry.
  
  A few things about this bottle. Rather harsh up front so definitely let sit an half hour minimum. However even afterwards, this wine is still rather average. There are other CDRS out there for lesser that are just as good or better. Not sure if age will improve. Would recommend a pass on this unless you get it for $10.
  
  Update (6/23/2017): wine holds up well the second night. Actually sees a bit of an improvement; smoother and better balance of flavors. Just reinforces the notion that this bottle would do well to air a good while (4 hours would be great). As is now, would rate an 84-85.

  Unimpressive wine. I expected more fro a $15 bottle. Little to no bouquet. Light bodied. Berries and earth on the palate. Short finish. Nit much there. There are other generic CDR's and much less in value that taste better. Used this to make a daube.

  Bright ruby core, purplish on the edge. Raspberry, sweet cherry, minerals on the nose. Some smokiness. Sour cherry and wet stone on the tongue. Some spice on the finish. Medium tannins. Medium acidity. Enjoyable.

  Seethroughable. Subdued aromas of cherry, mineral, spice and alcohol. Not very expressive, but not rustic either. Full on the palate with good acid, good tannin, decent concentration, some warming alcohol and a slightly watery finish. Good for an everyday drink.

  Fantastic value. Would more than hold its own when up against wines 50-100% more expensive
