Nice clear garnet color. Light fruity nose of dark cherries and blackberries with some heat from the alcohol. Prominent flavors of dark, sweet cherries with subtle notes of vanilla and spice. Finishes slightly peppery but short probably because of the lack of tannins. This blend reminds me of "burgundy jug wine with a kick": slightly peppery but too sweet and no complexity. I don't recommend this wine by itself but paired with some pepper crackers and brie this is actually not bad; it might even pair well with moderate spicy Asian food?!? Got this Lindeman's on sale for $5 so I won't complain.
