Light Ruby with aromas of red fruits and subtle spice. On the palate flavors of sour cherry and raspberry flavors with tea and earthy tones. Medium-bodied, fine tannins, balanced, medium finish ending with earthy spice notes. Nothing exciting, ok, but others better at similar price!

Wasn't as good as i expected...but still not bad either. With such good ratings, my expectations were way up there in the nines. This barely made my 8.5 grade!

I could tell right off the bat I could tell there was some clone 777 in here. It's one of my favorite PN clones with notes of wet earth and mushroom but with soft red fruit. Nice structure and acid. I'm enjoying this a lot.

Perfectly adequate. A little wet earth-y.
