Label is sleek and kinda Euro. Color is dark and pretty deep red. Smells like vanilla and berry-fruit compote. Lush with more vanilla/caramel in the mouth. It’s a big ole CA red blend for the crowds. Has a bit of acidic zing and tannic bite on the finish. Mostly just a fruit soup bruiser though. It’s fine, but it’s not a wine to ponder or savor.

Fruity with a lot of tannin that coats the palate. I’ll remember this one as being enjoyed alongside my reintroduction to Digimon Adventures on a Sunday afternoon in Miami.
