I thought I was going to hate this wine. But, much like McDonalds French fries, it has undeniable likeability.
It reminds me almost exactly like Red Schooner, the Malbec from Wagner. The nose is very similar, the color remains impenetrable red and the hyper-oak-vanillization is apparent. Given that this is about half the price, it's certainly in the McDonald's happy meal realm.

Purplish red, sweet berries on the nose. Juicy, full body, slightly sweet. Raspberries, strawberries, violets, vanilla, lavender and toasted oak. Velvety tannin.

Disgusting. ... let me tell you how I really feel; taste like an overblown, synthetic, lab manipulated, Caymus knock off.

Begins with notes of mocha and berry with a tasty blend, but a bit hot on the finish

This is one of my favorite wines, It didn't have that sour, vinegar taste that you get with some wines. It was a beautiful rich flavor, thick dark color wine, with clear flavors of caramel and berry. I am very picky with wines, and like a certain style of wine, and this falls into what I like.
