Medium plus in body. Jammy with medium acidity.

Fruity and dry on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, currants, cherry jam, Cedar, licorice, vanilla, dark chocolate, tobacco, sweet candy and spices.

Medium finish with round tannins and spices.

A Nice party wine. Not offensive in any way and very enjoyable, but simple. A good weekday wine to sip on by itself and Well balanced.

I'm too inexperienced to really know if it's a good wine or not, but I really liked this one.

A good value wine, with enough fruit and complexity to satisfy someone who likes drinking medium and full bodied wines.

Picked this up at Total Wine because they were out of Apothic. Pleased with the choice. A little sweet without being heavy.

Total Wine - About $10 - Good table wine or after-dinner. Smooth and likable for any red wine drinker. Reminiscent of an old vine blend. Would buy again.
