Dark and tannic, but light enough on the palate to float the open seas. Something a pirate might drink, I imagine. Buried treasure? Debatable.

Smooth cocktail red blend, with soft velvet tannic structure and medium body. Light cherry flavors dominate with just a touch of chocolate and a pleasant subdued blueberry finish.

Weird, but it smells like meat. Like smoked sausage. That aside, delicious!

Inexpensive - smooth and light red blend. Medium body. Easy to drink. Doesn’t require lengthy time to air out. Not a dry finish, which I enjoy. Overall a really solid wine for its price point. I’d drink it again

Such a great wine, a little leather at first taste it smoothed out well. A nice light Smokey taste with medium tail.
