Big aroma of plums and dark fruit. Much better after aeration and swirling. Before= very dry tannins. After= soft upfront dark cherries with a quick dry finish.

Deep cherry, berry with hints of tobacco and vanilla. Good tannins and acidity with a lingering finish.

Big, dark fruit. Better the second night. Good for the price point.

Surprised by this wine as we had no idea what to expect! It was really good. Will definitely add to my wine collection.

Easy to drink but also holds up against hearty foods. Has the merlot velvet and Syrah body.

This has some nice dark plum and berries to it. Some tannins at the finish. Nicely balanced. Expected a little more depth at the finish, but all in all a very pleasant drink!
