At some point in the evening, it's just too difficult to comment on every wine. Just too drunk.

Fun wine for the price. Wild fruit, hint of toast, berry spice, earth, med bodied and somewhat soft tannin. Good food wine.

Deep purple in color; plums, blueberries, and cigar box on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like blackberry jam, plum sauce, and graphite with a medium finish. Nellie likes it. I like it too. I'd like the fruit to hang out a little longer on the pallet, but it's very good.

Deep ruby color.
Aromas of grape juice, black fruit.
Dry. Baked black fruit, grape juice, licorice. Rich, velvety tannins. The alcohol overpowers.

Intensity: 5/5
Complexity: 2/5
Balance: 3/5
Finish: 3/5
