Very similar to the cooper and thief red blend but at a much lower costs. Hints of vanilla on the back end add for a pleasant aftertaste

Legs, 8/10. Dark cherry and oaky vanilla on the nose. Very soft on the tongue, lightly tannic and really lovely blend for the price.

Too acidic. Had only a few sips and ended up using in a pasta sauce.
