The label is pretty accurate, but it is from Bulgaria, which is pretty cool

Light on the nose; thin as a Pinot; wonderful taste. Surprised it’s a Bulgarian wine, but pretty darn good.m, a little hint of cinnamon.

Nose: savory, cooked meat, charcoal, dark cherry, plum, cedar, some tropical fruit (??), distinct spices - cardamom? -some ginger maybe? Interesting! Taste: savoury middleweight cherry-like cab. Not bad! But - not worth $12 to me. Money much better spent on a Columbia Valley Chateau St Michelle or some Bordeaux for the same price. 87.
