J: decent balance of fruit (plum?) and mild spice - more cinnamon than pepper. Mild tannins but not overly dry. Easy to sip on. 8.0 - would buy again
N: it smells like it’s trying to trick me into thinking it’s good but I know it can’t be that good because it’s red wine. It is extremely spicy. Whoever said this tastes like fruit hasn’t had a fruit before. It tastes like a cinnamon stick that I slurped through a jalepeno straw. It’s all spice but it’s not dry. Just wet spice. It’s acidic but with no flavor. A cinnamon stick dipped in battery acid. This is the worst wine I’ve had in recent memory. 6.5 - would not buy again

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of dried figs, cedar, and black cherries; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body, and pronounced intensity primary and secondary flavors of sour cherries, strawberries, and wet gravel with a medium finish. This wine is intense and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as good.
