Cherry, crushed rocks, herbal notes, somewhat bitter on the finish. Perfectly drinkable wine, but not great. It's $7... I'd also note, some cheap mac & cheese would bump this up a notch... pair with food.

Not bad, but pretty tight on PnP. Decanted for two hours - cherry, earth, violet, herbal notes, and a touch of cigar box on the nose. Palate is the same with high sour notes and a bit of heat. Probably better in 3-5 years, but I don't think this is one for the long haul. Acidity and alcohol are pretty out of balance, I'd expect this to drop off pretty hard when it does.

Pours yellow-gold. Guava, beeswax, earth, and some vanilla on the nose. Palate brings in limestone, with a nice spike of acidity, and a saline backbone.
