Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep red with aromas of ripe black fruits and heavy spice notes. On the palate this wine is jammy and sticky with plum and blackberry flavors, with pepper spice. Harsh tannins, not well balanced with acidity, the wine finishes medium. Drink now, no aging potential. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Lots of dark fruit, almost jammy. Nice lingering finish.

Sweet and a bit thin/light. Cherry fruits up front with oak tannins and tartness after. It's ok. Kind of warm up to it as I drink it more

Not usually one for dry wines, but this one I don't mind....and won't mind drinking again.
