Mild acidity, good amount of earth, and little bit of allspice, white pepper. Heavy alcohol on the nose, which is a major turnoff. Overall it's not bad, but I don't like it at the modest (and always sketchy) $15 price point. Better off finding something light and easy in the single digits or opening the wallet to buy something that's actually good.

Update: the fragrant alcohol softened after two days. Improved the overall character of the wine significantly.

Very fruit forward but not simple like many fruit bombs are. Really easy drinking nice Cali Syrah blend.
