Medium Ruby red color with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with tobacco, floral and earthy notes. Full-bodied, big drying tannins on a medium finish. Just ok!

Strawberries, cherries, clumps of dirt. Light-medium bodied with lots of acid. For $13 this little piggy gets it done

Great sourness, medium light body, very pleasant acid in there, good balance, refreshing, lighter side color wise, fruit isn't as much there but finishes with a diluted strawberry flavor (hence refreshing), little sweet (downside in this case)
