Wouldn’t have purchased from total wine online if I knew this table wine was a NV. Not bad for 12$, but a total fruit bomb. Would not get again.

Dark red with aromas of jammy dark fruits and big hit of spice. The palate shows smoky dark berry flavors with pepper spice with harsh heavy tannins. The wine is full bodied with a spicy oak finish. Not a fan, Pass. Tasting Sample.

New creation by Austin Hope. I found his PR Cab to be pleasant enough but I think this tastes cheaply made. Asphalt/tar, brooding dark fruits, and baking spices on the nose. On the palate overripe dark fruits and an herbal/vegetal bitterness that lingers, and lingers... We’ll see how it shows in 30-60+ minutes but at this point we’re sitting tight at a 78/100.
.
Edit: After substantial time to reveal itself, I’ve decided to drop the score even lower to a 70, which is more appropriate for the poor quality of juice. My wife (who is always far less critical of wine than I am) even expressed disgust with it, saying “I can drink most things but I don’t want this, it doesn’t even taste like wine.” I have no reservations about this being a “bad” bottle, per se: it’s not. It’s just a bad product. Unfortunate.

Enjoyed this one - notes of plum and pomegranate make it sweet and easy for all to enjoy.
