Color of shades of purple, a bit grey on the rim, and a bit ruby in the body. Nose of mice tobacco leaves, cherry jam, blackberry, spice, heat of alcohol, and a bit leathery. Taste is hickory, oaky, with nice acidity and spice, polished sweetness from ripe grapes, low on tannins, and easy to drink. Aftertaste has a bit tinkling minty flavor with more spice. Crowd pleaser. — 3 hours ago

Color is light purple, ruby, bloody grapefruit, and a bit grey, very clean. Nose of spice, dried strawberries, a bit peppery, quite light, some wet mushrooms, actually remind me of Pinot noir. Taste follows the nose, with addition of zesty note, low tannings, and also quite light. Nothing to complain with the price, just lighter than I thought, but everything is on par. — 2 months ago

Color is almost like grapefruit. Nose of ripe pineapple, tart cherry, mineral, flowering note like light honey, and tinkling carbonate. Taste is clean and follows the nose, with refreshing grapefruit zest, long subtle acidity, some tart cherry, and honey. Aftertaste is medium, with grapefruit and naval green range finish, very clean and savory. — 2 months ago

Color of concentrated black tea. Nose is high quality bourbon with sweet apple, mesmerizing aldehyde, paint, powerful alcohol and spice in nasal cavity. Taste is extremely smooth, with toffee like sweetness wrapping the tongue, zest, sweet apple, and a bit salty mineral. Aftertaste has even more toffee sweetness, a bit heat. You can hardly tell she is 90 proof. — 2 months ago

Color of grayish purple, quite clear with a bit orange note. Nose is balanced fragrance with dried strawberry, spice, tobacco leaves, cured meat, and more sweet berries. Taste is light, and follows the nose, right amount of acidity and tannins, zest, just a bit sweetness shows her subtlety, more cured meaty note dancing with the berry note. Aftertaste shows backbone of tannins, medium long with savory spice, acidity and sweetness. Pretty good. — a month ago

Color of clear ruby with a mix of purple. Nose of warm ripe cherry, spice, a bit coffee beans, dried strawberry, some mineral, and some more paint like fragrance. Taste is also mellow with right amount of acidity and grape juice sweetness, mineral, bittersweet metallic note, low tannins, dried strawberry, and in fact a bit peppery. Aftertaste shows some more grapefruit zest note. Very easy to drink, yet the flavors are a bit dilute and bittersweet note is a bit overpowering. — 2 months ago

Color of different shades of purple, with some ruby tone, quite clear and nice legs. Nose is pretty good with tropical ripe fruits, like ripe mango, minty, vanilla, blackberry, and a bit spice. Taste is milky with some vanilla milk chocolate note, slightly sweet and grassy, low tannins, and fruity notes are really in the background, like strawberry and cherry, zest, a bit mineral, and a touch of black pepper. More mineral, more sweetness, and more tannins show in the aftertaste. Not your traditional cab, but will be welcome by most of the people due to her friendliness. — 2 months ago

Color is more saturated than traditional Pinot noir, with shades of purple, ruby, and orange. Nice leg. Nose is nice, with ripe cherry, cherry jam, prune, oak and spice, strawberry, and some more exotic spice. Taste of nice berries note, with sweetness of grapes juice, a bit zest with medicinal flavors note, good acidity, low tannins, a bit tinkling, and some more dried strawberry and grape juice flavors. Aftertaste shows some more spice. Taste is slightly above average while nose is better. A bit too much bitter in the aftertaste. — a month ago

Color of light black tea. Nose is quite spicy, a bit smoky and peaty, ripe apple, and more spiciness in the nasal cavity. Taste is unexpected sweet, with spiciness takes the backseat, flowering and honey notes, a bit minty, and some more hotness, quite smooth and dense enough. Aftertaste of more honey note and lingering warmth. Not bad at all as crowd pleaser. I am surprised by the low ratings overall from the community. — 2 months ago

Color of purple and ruby, clear. Nose of fresh berries, fresh grape juice, a bit spice, and some more grape juice. Taste is quite light, low tannins and low alcohol, grape juice like again with a bit too much bitterness. Not impressed at all. — 2 months ago
