CarolB's Review:

Nose: wafts of cherry and dark fruit on the first nose. A couple swirls really brought out the bouquet on this wine: heady mint, a bit of cherry cordial (I swear I got a little chocolate there), and spice. Although this is a dry, earthy wine, I still found a lot of the fruit coming through along with spice, pepper, and lots of oak. I found the tannins to be well-balanced, perhaps just a little bit much though not enough to affect my enjoyment; however I have heard people say that they found them to be a bit heavy. The finish was nice - I would call it medium-long. Overall, I really enjoy this wine, especially for the price: $10.99. Although it's inexpensive, I feel that it's one that definitely holds it own
