Redish purple in color. On the nose I get some red fruits like cherry and strawberry. I also get some caramel but more than anything there is tons of HEAT! The palate is a little more interesting than the nose. There is red fruits like cherry and red apple and a little oaky spice on the mid palate. The finish is really overwhelmed by the alcohol. This wine is thin and disappears rather quickly. I found it for 8.99 so I don't feel too bad about buying it but really there are better wines out there for not that much more that deliver a whole lot more. This wine is OK.

N: Lots of fruit, maybe too fake - blueberry pie filling. A bit fake, but pretty tasty. In the mouth, big, lush, with good acidity (don't think it was fake... petit verdot to the rescue?!?!), but balanced...after a fashion. It's clean and has the delicious factor going for it. Good juice.

This is a luscious red blend that explodes with fruit and has a slight earthy finish. Easy to drink great pizza wine

Don't remember this very well... It was fairly typical, good for teaching purposes, which is why I opened it.

Nice wine, complex for the price and a great weekday quaffer. The Petite Verdot adds a vegetal note that I appreciate. Will definitely buy again.
