Hell ya! I don't know that smooth is the right word, but it is lovely. A tinge of bite, nice bit of sweetness. I get plum and licorice. Quite a nice easy sipper.

Was a surprising great wine. Loved the flavory taste and the mellow after taste. Would recommend as a decent house wine.

Neat little red blend. Nice translucent dark cherry skin color. Aromas of raspberries, cherry and cigar box. Loads of red fruit on the palate, nice cedar finish.

Pretty decent table wine- for $7 a bottle- nice color, blackberries, plums and a hint of allspice. Very smooth with nice flavors of fruit and spice.

Nice color, deep purple. Hot on the tongue from the alcohol. Has a candy apple taste on the finish.
