Ah, wilderness! All forest image for front label - cool. What Sasquatch would drink, perhaps. Dense purple red, highly extracted pigment. Blackberry, mint, a touch of barnyard in nose. Blueberry and blackberry flavors, black pepper, coffee and cherry in finish. Mild seed bitterness, skin astringency in aftertaste. Nice blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Sangiovese (61/19/15/5). A winery worth watching

An interesting red blend with lots of dark berry flavors and a little spice on the finish.

Gave it an hour plus to smooth out the edges. Wine almost made it to a sauce. Picture of forest and wilderness in the title do not show in the juice itself.

It’s been a while since I’ve rated a wine. Nothing felt like it was worthy of a rating. That changed. You changed me. Your blackberry notes made me a better man. Your dry coffee aftertaste taught me to live again. Bless you Sparkman.

Do not buy again. Inoffensive but unexciting
