Pleasant aroma of blueberry, tart cherry, black pepper, vanilla, and hint of violet and green veggie. Unexpectedly bright and zesty on the palate. Assertive tannins. Can’t really find fault with this well balanced wine, but somehow I did not really like it.

Cheaply and artificially fruity. The kind of wine that gives you a nice headache.
