I don't dislike it...but...meh. Doesn't taste cheap but it's a struggle to find anything noteworthy

Oak bomb. Undrinkable the first few hours out of the bottle. Had some the following night & it was ok. The fruit was a little more noticeable but, overall, still way too oaky. 😕

A drinkable wine that complements a hearty meal but not a favorite. Just fine.

Has a taste that reminds me of confectionary sugar. I don't love that in a big red.
