Clear and unassuming. Presence of oak, red fruit, decaying rose pedal, hazelnut/cocoa; nose was less forward on structure than taste.. WOW tannic med+/hi, alcohol med(13.5), med/+ acid, raspberry jam, tart cherry, crisp minerality... I can dig it for the price point of 18.99 but would gamble on a Pinot for less $$ — 7 years ago

Very nice. Nose:dried rose pedal, ripe cherry, baking cocoa, lil dusty... taste: dark chocolate cherry cordial, med - tannin, lil hot(med+ etoh), clay, acid med/-(I struggle), light oak contact, dried strawberry..complex and aged just fine. Paired it with a burger but recommend anything and nothing, definitely drinkable alone. — 7 years ago
