A lot of depth and well rounded for something so budget friendly.

Drank with Jill and Alex. Promising wine at the price, didn’t pay enough attention to it. Bought it a second time, liked it but again neglected to analyze it, but anyway the rating stands.

Second bottle. Medium depth and body. Wood forward, but not overwhelming. Solid fruit. Earthy and vegetal, but not in an underdeveloped sense. Good, versatile.

Needs about 15 minutes to breathe, and the tartness goes away. I usually associate cherry with "sour", but this is surprisingly mellow and even a little sweet on the palate.

Delicious highly rated affordable wine enjoyed with Alkins and Gatelein’s during Steak dinner. Was one of four bottles that night and my favorite.
