Smooth berry flavors. Deep ruby color with a medium-light body lacking any legs. Has mellowed nicely and is well balanced.

Got it in a shipment from a wine club and paid 5 bucks for it. With that said, it is a bargain. Big dark fruit with essence of strawberries and heavy tannin. Poured it with fire grilled ribeye with roasted garlic, thyme and blue cheese butter. Went perfectly.

Little on the dry side. Very good berry flavor. Little thinner flavor. Not big enough for me.

A plain but decent wine. Not overly Petite Sirah-esque.

First sip was good, but got a bit too smokey as it opened up.

Tried it on two different evenings - had a terrible headache afterwards. The flavor was ok - quite dry but fruity.
