Last bottle. Consistent tasting notes. A mouthful of cherry, with hints of dark chocolate. Fruit-forward, but lush and smooth. High QPR.

A mouthful of cherry, with hints of dark chocolate on the smooth finish. Fruit-forward, but not in an overpowering way. Still fantastic. Thankfully one bottle left.

Surpriaingly complex for a TJ's wine. Unbalanced with oak over powering plum and black fruit flavors. Loads of tannins.

Surprisingly good. Maybe a bit too much oak but very drinkable.

Nice aroma with little peppery and cacao flavor, smooth body. For the price, it is one of the best!
