A lot more fruit than Napa. But nice and complex wine.

Dark ruby. A little thin but nice fruit, cherry and plum. Not overly tannic but soft and easy drinking

Soft pepper notes on the start with a dark raspberry finish. Good fruit without being sweet. Moderate tannins and a long finish.

This is a great wine, particularly for the price. The aroma is cherries, which is fitting since the description on the bottle is cherries and mocha. Sweet red but with a unique depth and a dry finish. Great choice, Justin.

From the other night's D&D brainstorming session. Quite tasty. Rich, viscous, and jammy.

Realizing I don't care for this one. Have had it on plenty of occasions for the price and spice combo, but it really is pretty thin and one dimensional. It is $10 for a reason. Will not buy again.
