Vegan! And it will, “Help Save the Animals”…
Now the wine. Color or red roses, red nail polish and red lipstick. Smells a hint musky, but not too much coming off the shimmery liquid as far as aroma. Flavors are meh. Hint of smoke. Some bitter bite and plenty of luscious, opulent fruit. Kinda easy, but clean, lean and good to go young and dumb. It’s an interesting mix of Cab Sauv, Syrah and Touriga Nacional. They donate to a good cause. It’s a cheap and pretty enjoyable Portuguese red. This is the best vintage so far.

Smoky nose with soil, meat, and almost a dusty note. Interesting blend, but a little muddled. Nothing to write home about. Good drinking wine for $10. VC

Very nice, drinkable wine. Great color, body, and mouth feel

Aug 24th, 2022Critter extraordinaire label. Smells like fake jam flavors. CA cab blend, Arg. Malbec, Oz cheap Shiraz, etc. Flavors confirm. It’s fruit soup at its most uninspired. Nothing rare here at all. (Re-reviewed. I gave it more leeway last time. Not as friendly thus time).

Dramatic label. Dark. Smells sweet and riper. Flavors are sweeter and a bit too new world for me. It’s awright, but not that ‘rare’...
