  Aromas and flavors of dried sour cherry, subtle earth, and some garden herb. Medium body with decent acidity. A decent wine, just not all that exciting. Does pair very well with penne and sausage in marinara.

  Consistent with previous bottle. Sour cherries along with some mild earthy undertones and a bit of cedar and spice. Solid wine that is perfect for Sunday pasta and sauce.

  Great rich nose of cherry twizzler, plum, and fall leaves. However, on the palate this does not deliver for me. It's acidic, and comes off as a bit thin and falls flat on the transition from mid to finish. I wouldn't say it's poorly made, but I question whether this is any better than an above-average Chianti. Not up to BdM standards, IMHO.

  Consistent with previous bottle although the nose was slightly less expressive.
