Sweeter than I thought it would be, but not too much so. Nice raspberry start, that becomes deeper finishing with a woody cedar taste. Also very smooth and not very tannic. Pretty pleased but would have liked a little more full bodied red.

I'm very impressed with this. Dry but not at all tannic. I almost wish it had a bit more bite but the smoothness gives a great finish.

Forget your grandmother's peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crusts cut off. This is her older sister, thwacking you in the mouth with an old gnarled tree branch - laden with ripe juicy fruits.

I don't usually prefer merlots, but this is good.

Black cherries all day! Young and tart. I recommend aging for a couple years, and the maturity will make this wine fine as hell.

Cranberry tartness with a smooth light oaky finish. Tannins are soft, but you're left with a dry, jammy accent. Light-medium bodied. Still young, but with age, it will only get better!
