It's been awhile since I wino'd. This bottle is pretty tasty. You know it's going to be a good time when you take first sip and you like "awwwwww yeaaaaa imma take another sip like right now, that's so good." That first sip was immediately smokey AF but in a good way. In the best way. It's cold out and this wine will cuddle you. Maybe Alex from Tinder didn't call you back, but this wine will keep you warm tonight. It's also got a lot of sweetness (blackberries) Alex didn't. It's smokey and jammy and tasty and lingers on the palate nicely. So drink wine don't Tinder.

A bit too sweet. Smooth, no tannins, pleasant enough, but this was sweet where a red blend shouldn’t be.

Deliciously smooth and semi sweet. You get the smallest hint of oakiness smokey taste at the end but it keeps you wanting more. Definately envelops your mouth with warmth and velvety flavors.
