Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and heavy spice. The palate shows sour black fruit with gritty spice. Harsh tannins were noted on the finish. Pass, Tasting Sample.

Huge scents of ripe blackberries. Medium to full bodied - sweet upon the initial touch and evens out w the finish (rich in tannins). An even sweeter finish on day two - so give this wine some air and time

I first bought this when I was looking for a cheaper wine to put in Sangria. I drunk a glass prior to dumping it and didn't mind it at all. A good one to have on hand. Maybe even made the sangria better

Will buy again.
