Rich, lush, and super fruity - but not obnoxious and over-the-top. Pleasant surprise.

Very jammy with a lot of plum notes. Finish is of sweet cranberry.

Rich black fruit aromas with underlying vanilla notes, bright acidity like tart blackberries, a warm round body, and smooth but drying tannins. Balanced and delicious. So perfect on a chilly January night.

Big wine. Some acid, tannins & sweet assay the same time, warm vanilla, black fruit, spice. No aftertaste, short finish. Would be better than rating with any kind of grilled meat.

If it were a cola, it would be Dr Pepper. Easy to drink, but hmmmmm I just don't know.

You know, I am still learning this whole wine thing. This wine is smooth. Goes down easy. Low tannins. Fruity, but the fruit leans to the prune-y side. I don't know if that is exactly proper.
