This wine has a dark ruby tint in the glass and a nose of ripe fruit and oak spice. The palate confirms the oakiness of the wine - a bit too much for my taste. The tannins are a bit too forceful, too. The mouthfeel seems weak and watery, while the fruit flavors have an almost candied taste. I have had $15 wines before which were outstanding. This one, unfortunately, does not fall into that category.
