Liked better on the second try. Tannins were noticeable and the complexity seemed to be there that I felt was missing on the first go round. Nice dark fruit flavors, plum, cassis, blackberry. Good mouthfeel and a pleasant if not long finish.

This is a nice wine to drink on it's own when you just want a glass of wine. Light fruit, not much complexity, simple but dry and quite pleasant. For the price (under $20) it would be a good house wine for that first and second glass after work. Not a blockbuster, but, a very enjoyable red, also kind of fun to drink an unusual varietal.

Rich, full bodied, fruit in the nose. Tannins were strong. Could have kept for a few more years, think that would have made this wine even better.
