$5 at Gross Out. Label is ok. Not sure why it’s called ‘Cursive’ there ain’t much on there. Has a maroon, ruby color. Kinda what I associate with WA Merlot for color actually. Aroma is nice. Sun warm berry and dark skinned stone fruits come to mind. Hint of wet granite in a creek too. Flavors are on point. Bittersweet, grippy, and juicy. Label suggests ‘blackberry, cocoa and violet’. I’d add black cherry, cola and fennel. This would be great grilled meat wine. Any savory and rich food would go great. This was a steal of a deal.

NOSE: chocolate and blackberry … a whiff of warm baking spice. Slightly Rioja-like.
TASTE: as the nose, but sort of thin and anonymous, It’s decent, but probably not worth the $13 (to me). 89.
