First time trying this line, blue fruit, potpourri, tobacco and tar. Need a pizza, can't wait to try more

Overtime wine from Friday night wine club; after the competition as host to our quarterly competition I bring out something that might be dimensionally different that the wine in the blind tasting. This blew the doors of everyone....fantastic product and great value at $18. Bold, chewy, inky and flavorful... buy and drink now

Very good. A hint of tannin, a little earthiness, and a little red fruit. Goes down easy.
