Nose of dark leathers cherries with baking spice. Chewy leggy textured. Deep yet vibrant ruby color. More fruit than I expected, pleasantly. Spiced baked cinnamon clove earthy aged cherry. Great price of $6.99 at Trader Joe's. I would buy this again for sure. Pairs nicely with hard goat cheeses, like goat gouda and drunken goat.

Agree with most - light yet complex. Tart without being sharp. Dry with several flavors (hard to pin down, changes with food)

Nice wine for price point. Not too notable but balanced.

This was a disappointment. I mean, I drank it, and I still liked it, but found myself not enjoying it that much. I think this is a wine to be enjoyed on its own and not with food, which for me is a rare occasion.

Berries and some tart cranberry. Very, very tart. But pretty balanced. Chewy and citrusy. A nice wine though,

Light tannins. Easy to drink. Served alongside pork. Good choice.
