Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 75% Merlot, 24% Petit Verdot & 1% Other. Deep red with big red fruit aromas and pepper spice. On the palate cherry and tart raspberry flavors with some vanilla spice. Tannins are a bit harsh and a little too hot with an alcohol burn, ends with a pepper punch. Pass, not worth it. Tasting Sample.

I paid $5 for this bottle, sealed it up nice after each pour and it held up for 4 days like a champ. Grading on a curve, I dig it.

Sweet finish, spices in the finish, strawberry jam middle. Plain and no character

A lil dry but juicy enough for acidic fuds. Had with an Italian stew. Belisimo! The best part is the price! Under $10 on sale.

Drinkable to the point of banality. Like inviting an accountant to dinner.
