Little bit of funk on the nose—leather saddle and roses. Cherry and raspberry with velvety smoothness. Nice consistent value wine.

Slight VA that quickly dissipated. Aromas of cherry and even a hint of horseradish. Subdued at first but opens up with flavors of red currants.

Consistently good. Dark cherry, raspberry and vanilla aromas. A bit of cola on the palate. And the price is right.

The cooked/dried fruit, jam and slight earthiness on this wine kicked my ass in a blind tasting. Good value for this character.
