Not bad for the price. Tight brambly vines give way to very soft black fruit with gritty muscular tannins. Not a sipping wine, but actually good with food, even a spicy gumbo.

From a double magnum, cherry nose, cherry and anise on the palate with light acid finish. Could use a little more body and depth, but a good value wine.

Amazing qpr. Subtle notes of boysenberry jam and dark cherries. Spice box and black pepper punctuate the finish. This is fantastic.

Always been a fan of Bogle and the 90 point Phantom may have finally gotten them the recognition they deserve.
