This wine has a medium-dark purple color in the glass. The nose is somewhat muted, but a good sniff will find some blackberry and blueberry aromas with a strong rustic sensibility. The flavors are certainly not shy about coming forward. Very dark fruit comes forth right away. A bit of oak spice makes itself known, but does not overwhelm. The tannins are firm and the acidity is refreshing. This is a full and juicy wine, with a finish that lingers awhile.

Nose: cherry, black tea, bitter spices, a little blackberry. Not promising, though the blackberry gives me hope. Taste: lighter than expected, strawberry jelly - much fruitier than expected also. Slightly floral and herbaceous. Not my favorite, but fine for $6. EDIT: some nice licorice comes out with air. 83.

Meh. Doesn't have any staying power. The fruit and tannins don't balance well.
