High high QPR. Described as 80’s Napa red. 100% agree. Great story too.

Vranac! A new grape variety for me. Red & dark berries with some slightly sour cherries. Very nice!

Wine starts off big but opens up pretty well. A really nice deep purple color, you get big cherry and fig aromas with a hint of barrel too warm you about what's coming. Flavor is barrel forward with an assertive tannin and woody notes followed by a hint of dark fruit that's scraped dry by the tannins. Drinks easier than I thought for 15%. Paired well with food. Would buy this again I think to share with wine friends.

Savory, little herb, pomegranate orange. Yum!! Full bodied, don’t drink w creamy food. Let it open up a bit for distinct orange rhubarb flavor.

The cherry and fig notes explode at first smell and taste, it was hard for me to believe that this was a grape varietal and not a cherry-based wine! Very enjoyable with smoked meats and cheeses - I recommend pairing it with traditional Bosnian suho meso (smoked beef).

I absolutely loved this wine—big and bold, yet smooth with intense rich red fruitiness. Will buy again if I can find it!

Not sure if I had the same wine as other reviewers - it was quite hard to drink. Maybe it had been badly stored.
