Blackberry bramble with a woody earthiness and hints of sweet tobacco. The fruit shines through on the pallate and altogether off-dry it has a slight sweetness which compliments the flavor. Paired with a lovely spring bonfire! ($8.5) [5/6/17]

Funky, musky nose that settles down into some nice floral red fruits, if not entirely dirt-trodden. Palate is smooth, bright and juicy. The acid keeps you coming back but the earth on the nose may keep you away.

1 person found it helpfulJan 3rd, 2018Pleasant surprise- great value, very dark & inky with tons of blue & black fruit (blackberry) and distinct tobacco notes. Solid structure but not a huge wine, just infinitely drinkable - only the modest finish is stopping this from being truly great

Blackberry covered chocolate is what this smells like.
Sugarless Pom, cran juice blend, with the mild stave and acidity whittling in. A perfect Tuesday nighter..
