Very good note, beautiful color. Dry in the mouth but burst of flavor and with sweet taste and finish with slight sour finish. The biggest point is not woody. But when drink the second glass, the dryness does get to you.

Beautiful ruby in color with a light ruby rim.

Light on the nose with blueberries, blackberries, figs, sweet plums, black pepper, licorice, wood, vanilla and sour cherries.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long thin legs.

Very fruity on the palate, and dry, with strawberries, tart cherries, plums, vanilla, licorice, peppercorn, spices, earth and leather.

Medium finish with firm tannins and tart strawberries.

This is a nice, inexpensive, everyday red. Not fully balanced, but has a great mouth feel.
Needs one hour to open up, but becomes somewhat tart after 2 hours. Nice complexity, but needed to be drunk a year earlier.

Made with Organic Petite Sirah grapes.

I paired it with soft and hard cheeses. Will also pair nicely with lamb dishes.

13% alcohol by volume.

For 5 bucks? Very drinkable.

Lets start with the price, $5.99. For that, you get a little spice, moderate fruit and a drinkable wine. Great value!

Very enjoyable. Easy to drink. A sweeter after taste, but not overly sweet. Loved it and will have it again. About $5-6 at TJ.

Dry wine with peppery finish. Guests enjoyed it more than I did.
