There's olive and some leather on the savory side but the rich slightly sweet dark fruit notes on the shortish finish own the day. Good but not great for 25$.

pretty solid, didn't really show its age as it was inky, opaque and dense with a fruit focused profile: blackberry boysenberry brambly a bit, cassis, licorice, plum pudding some spice cake and heat from ABV. On the palate it was suave, med to full bodied with all kinds of dark fruit. Kept searching for some northern Rhône secondary aromas & flavors that just never materialized. This was a New World effort - decent enough and priced fairly at $25.

Aromas of stewed cherry with notes of plum and blackberry. Body is more watery than I was expecting and it's tart with acid. Ether with food.

Wonderful deep notes of plum, currants and fig with wisps of toasty cedar. A very light smooth finish. Very nice with roasted pork.

Aroma of blackberries and dark cherries. Deep ruby color. Nicely balanced with some acidity with lingering berry flavors and slight peppery finish. Enjoyed this wine with Rack of Lamb. My husband had a Fillet Mignon.
