An excellent cheap blend. Strong black fruit notes, with earth and iron too. Spicy on the palate, long finish. $15. Better than its CA counterparts.

Pleasant but borderline bizarre dance between ripe blackberries and bitter cacao. Guessing there is a reasonably high roast on the barrels, definitely two singular dominating flavors.
