6.1

Dark ruby color with aromas of blue fruits with strong spice. The palate tried to show off fruit flavors but was overpowered with spices. This medium+ body wine has harsh tannins, with a medium finish. A little out of balance. Tasting Sample. Pass

Thin. A little sweet, very fruity. No structure at all, watery finish. Not sure a 7 year old would be able to tell the difference between this and grape juice.
