jdepetrillo's Review:

Nice dark color. Tight nose but has some cherry, oak, cedar. Nice round mouthfeel, soft tannins, with good cherry flavors. No fakeness in this wine for the price point. Great pizza wine.

Dark color. Huge nose with notes of cherry, tobacco, leather. Nice mouthfeel, with firm tannins. This is a very fruit forward wine with cherry, black fruit, hints of vanilla and oak. 91pts

Dark purple color. Notes of black cherry and coffee. Fruit forward, explosive cherry flavors. Huge tannins. This was tasted prior to decanting. After decanting for 3 hrs the wine opened up nicely, tannins softened and it had lovely complexity with a smooth vanilla finish.90pts
