This is a dark wine. It looks dark, smells dark and tastes dark. The nose brings blackberry, plum, coffee and black tea. There is very little oak in the aroma package, if any. The palate shows dark fruit as well, with a clean and healthy tannic structure. The finish is not terribly long, but it is juicy and flavorful.

Totally casual (what seems like partial carbonic) porch pounder. The PN lends some acid to the mix, so the texture is still gulpable. Not the most complex, but I was not expecting that.

Obviously basic juice but it’s just fine for what it is! 🍓

Soft, generic red fruit. Syrah adds a little heft. Quick finish. Close your eyes and one might confuse it for a rosé.

Massively bright cherry and slight tannin and that's it. Leaves as fast as it comes and disappoints all the way through.

Easy drinking with faint little cherries and Red fruits. Low acidity... Nice sipper

Tons of oak showing on the nose but good acid. Decent for langudoc
