Only hints of vanilla, lacking balance, not full-bodied as described

Deep red color, very subtle bourbon flavor. Decent, not great. Did pair nicely with BBQ ribs. Berry fruit forward.

Excellent wine. The bourbon notes are not over powering, and allow the berry flavor to come through.

Nice light red with a hint of sweetness. Makes for a nice late spring sip

Enjoyable... bold with up front bite. Dark fruits forward with coffee hints.

Ok I enjoy bourbon barrel aged wine but now I’ve found one that’s not for me - this one just isn’t quite right
