Bold fruit with a pleasing soft finish. A bit of sweetness that is slightly too pronounced for my taste, but still a nice wine. It's a smooth wine that will please many, especially if you're a novice to reds.

This non-vintage #wine opened up great! Aromas were fragrant like cedar, cologne, heavy bush, wild red berries. Flavor had an edge of raspberry down to the acidity, stewed cherry and red licorice. Tannins were pointed and wuickly diminishing. Over a couple hours it became more boozy. The 15% began to take over and coat. Night & day. I like the front half.

Syrah & Grenache dominate. High heat with soft aroma of crushed violets. Petite Sirah lends its deep inky color and gritty mouthfeel. Ripe & round. Mild unsavory green quality on the finish.

Very fruit forward. The tannins almost make it balanced but the dense fruit definitely wins the battle. Not much acid to speak of, if your into ripe/overripe this is for you

Good with red meat. Bought this for $20. Would buy again, but not my favorite. Richer, deeper taste. Is stronger at 15.2%

Too dry and didn't get any of the tasting notes. Maybe needs to breathe for an hour or 2?
