Label reminds me of early mid 2000’s album covers. Think Coldplay or some alt-electronica stuff. Color is deep dark. Nearly black it’s so purple or deep maroon. Smells of red/black fruits in the sun (or jam pot) and black olive tapenade. Flavors are big yet fairly balanced. Goes right up to the too ripe , fruit m-bombed and over-oaked style and stands on that edge. It’s a New World wine, but it’s just bittersweet and complex enough to make sense. I dare stay they nailed the ‘WA’ style for red blends. Imitate the big fancy CA reds, but inject a hint of Euro style to keep things interesting and honest.

Not as dark as expected but still a nice red.

Beautiful label, but so-so wine. A bit bland.

Beautiful purple! The dark fruit, red berries, and spice are so well balanced together. At $12, this wine is a steal. Wow!
