Strong tart jammy blackberries on the nose.

Taste is the same jammy blackberry, with boysenberry, subtle raspberry in the middle. A spicy pepper note balances the whole act together and finally espresso and chocolate notes on the finish.

I paired this with Kansas City style ribs, and they complimented each other really well.

This is a 4 dollar wine, that drinks like a 20+ dollar one.

A simple wine, a bit dry, a bit bold, and tasty. For $4 at trader joes, it will be something I'll get again for a night of relaxing.

Trader Joe's. Dry, oodles of oak. Smells reminescent of port. Perhaps a hint of anise in flavor.

Luscious and ripe. This one is bold and zesty, with mouth-watering jam. Delicious with chocolate.

Light bodied and tart with some tannins; notes of cranberry and a little tobacco
