I like this a lot. Luscious dark bing cherries all the way. Rich fruity aroma with some spicy oaky dankness upon swirling. Opaque garnet halfway between violet and orangey red. Smooth and juicy on the palate. Velvety tannins finish very well with milk chocolate, sweet rich vanilla and baking spice notes that meld perfectly with the dark cherry. I don't know if this year is an anomaly, but I can find little wrong with this wine, and the tannins actually show some structure. I've never gotten more value or enjoyment for $11, no question.
