This medium dark wine shows plum and blackberry on the nose, with hints of black pepper and herbs. The palate brings those dark flavors amid a somewhat watery mouthfeel with medium-firm tannins. On the medium-long finish, those savory spice and herb notes come forward. I bought this for cooking, for which it was fine. It was decent as a sipper, but a little disappointing in aromas and flavors.

Pinot, not rhone. Simple. Cherry, strawberry, sweet herbs, sawdust and nice acid. Ok, good wine for $12.00.

Good solid Rhône - easy drinking smooth red. A nice bouquet on the nose greets you on the way in and tapers into a sharp finish, medium body along the way - nice table red.

very affordable and great tweener for people that don't love Pinot but don't want the oak flavor of a Cab

Much better with food than without. Very dry. A bit of a smoky nose, which I like. A lighter body than I am used to. Enjoyable.

Earthy. Black pepper. Nail polish remover smell. No run. Bitter lingering taste

Dark burgundy color. Pronounced aroma-very intriguing. Semi complex with light notes of plum but with a strong/long finish

Delicious. Smooth. Great flavor but really easy to drink. On sale for $11 at Kroger. Drank with Amy and paired with a meat and cheese plate. So good.
