Deep, ruby pools of bergamot, red roses, cherries, and a hint of cinnamon. I’d love to dive in.

Rich, dense flavors like biting into a juicy dark red cherry. Spice undertones of cinnamon and black pepper. Smacks of plums and tobacco.

Powerful uppercut. — 4 years ago

Bergamot, cranberries, lavender, subtle earl grey tea.

Wow. Perfect balance. Hits all of my favorite taste profile notes.

Uppercut punch to the jawline with the welcome acidity, tart blueberry jam pie, and even some spice notes that I can’t really pinpoint.

I just know this would pair exceptionally well with some bake lamb. When a wine makes you crave a specific food, they did something right. And also I just went for an 8 mile run and I’m hungry.

This wine just makes me happy. And it’s kind of hard to explain why. And that only happens about 1/10 bottles. — 4 years ago

Never been a fan of over the top labels as I’ve been fooled by pretty packaging before. Recommended as worth a shot to me so took the plunge - and it’s definitely smooth. Sade’s Smooth Operator comes to mind as this almost silky smooth...but with an uppercut given its 15% strength. Jammy red ripe fruit blend that has a super pleasant aroma on the nose. Strong, supple and powerful - not for a school/work night! Minor quibble with the cork not being covered as I distrust the shipping process for wine as a general rule - cover the cork at this price point! — 6 years ago

Very nice blend, (Cab/Merlot/petit Verdot/Shiraz) nice dark ruby color with many different characteristics off the nose. Coffee, wood, dark chocolate, very Robust berry with an uppercut of tannins. Even after letting it open and decanter it kept on surprising me with different flavors. Had it with the wrong dish, should not be with anything spicy since it will not enhance the dish. Was great with very nicely seasoned meats. — 7 years ago

Has punch, not really a jab, more like an uppercut, medium rare finish, the rope is red and smooth but not cotton smooth but like unwashed and unused cotton smooth like I've used it a lot and I need to wash it , the feeling tastes like endless opportunities like star gazing in New York with mixed feelings because you can't see the stars and your red wine is actually in a white wine glass — 8 years ago
