Notes from night 2. This needed some air to open up.
Dark red color. Herbal, pyrazines, black cherry & red currants. Medium body, medium acidity & medium finish. Fruit on palate was on the red end of the spectrum and had nice herbal undertones. I enjoyed this and would buy again given price (under $13.00). Very food friendly wine and a nice change of pace (and much cheaper) than a Napa Cabernet. If you like old world Cabernet this is worth a try.
89-90 range.

Faint aroma of cherry. Not giving up much. Simple flavors of cherry. Nothing special on finish.
