Sipping Fine Wine

Dark Ruby with heavy spice nose. On the palate some blackberry fruit peaks through the strong pepper spice. Tannins are harsh and strong, doubtful they will soften this wine. Finish was off balance. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Very sweet. Tastes like cherry. Not for me but not terrible.

Not a bad cab for the price. Less than 12$ at the local market.
