A little overworked for me, but certainly has some concentration.

Uh. Awesome package for the wine shop. Definitely a collectors piece. But don't lay them down. Great Christmas gigs for 12 of your hipster friends.

Pretty boozy, black fruits and chocolate. Needs more time in the bottle.

...Christmas cheer from Kenny, so of course I immediately crack when I get home... First off, is it me or does the label look like Kenny's wife Gwen... All that pic would need is a Hofstra tee shirt dangling from her mouth... Now the wine... Bit much going on here and I'm wondering how he gets the alcohol up to almost 16%... Dark, dark color... Intense flavor, certainly memorable; simply not desirable... Chick on the bottle rocks though...

Wow, I used to love her... Still good juice, just not as good as I recall.
