This is a strange wine with black currants and black fruit on the nose. The attack is sweet, too sweet, and this overload of jammy fruit puts the wine out of balance. Once the fruit is done and the tannins have receded the finish show some chocolate covered raisins. Bottom line, a very disjointed wine.

Love this wine. Super jammy. Nearly opaque, garnet color. Strawberry, leather. Full bodied.

Delicious! Red FEASTING wine all the way. Big fruit, big body. Amazing! If you only had one bottle to bring to a party, bring this. $28 at Clifton Wine Shop. Yummmm.

Big but soft and juicy. Pairs well with any red meat. Good consistent standby.
