Just for you @TheSkip 😈.

Medium garnet red. Love the rocks funk on the nose, a little black pepper, smoky, meaty, some spices and light red berries. Even a touch floral on the backend. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Savory attack on the palate with tons of crushed rocks and some dried herbs. Undertones of red berries such as cherries and strawberries too but not overly bright. Long gravelly finish. Drink till 2020.

Smell was amazing. Sweet, fresh, smooth. Taste was delightful- more mellow than the smell (not fruity in taste at all) but full bodied and a really wonderful wine. Different from a 'California cabernet' flavor but enjoyable.

Terrible punny label, but this is declassified Reynvaan juice and it brings the Rocks funk at a great price.

Kind of a second label for Reynvaan with some of their classic aromatic hallmarks. Good out-take material and affordable.

Fun bottle on the nose and palette at a great price. Notes of minerals, gravel and spring water keep things interesting.

A little spice with back-up notes of fruit.

Interesting nose, could place it immediately and decided to let it air out for a while. Had a slight brine, floral and mineral nose, different than what I was expecting. The brine tang was there in the finish with hints of black berry and cherry.

Smoked, peppery meaty flavor dominates. Not my cup of tea, but I appreciate the craftsmanship.
