When I heard this wine was $15 I thought it was a joke. No wine out there taste as good as this for the price. Drinks like a $40-$50 bottle. Very smooth.

After six years this wine aged nicely and was very smooth with hints of blueberry and cranberry.

Smoky nose with with black olives and cherries on the palate. Vanilla and spice on the finish. This one has a ton of character and will make everyone happy. Easily one of the best under $25 bottles I've ever had.

This wine has rich character and went really well with my steak entree at a local restaurant. Tastes like aged in oak. Was shocked to see how reasonably priced this wine is!
