Dark fruits and acid. Minimal tannins. Inoffensive. Pairing with Buffy marathon.

Blind Date Wine! Black fruits (black cherry, plums) and some earthy notes... slightly vegetal and almost bell pepper. Lots of acid with tart black cherry flavors, spices and black pepper. Pretty light bodied with minimal tannins at first, but they start to come through with more sips. My guess was a cab sauv or melon, so I guess I did pretty good!

"The aroma of a decadent red wine" -PG 🍷
A delightful balance of fruit and earth aromas and flavors, a nice round body smooth tannins. Lots of layers to enjoy, and perfectly paired with Shepard's Pie.

Not horrible, but a little flat. Recommended with lamb, which I guess makes sense, but nothing special.

Tasted with hubby during “virtually guided tasting” with the vintner on FB 4/4/20, finished last night. Medium bodied, slight tannin, fruity without being sweet. This would be nice with a really good hamburger.

Beautiful blend. Pleasant nose. Full body. Only drawback is a weak finish.

Don't be too thrown off by the odd scent, it's still reasonably pleasant to taste
