My Review: This was a nice little wine. At $10 a bottle, I could see myself buying this again. On the nose it smelled of butter, dark chocolate and dark ripe berries. On the palate this wine was super smooth with medium weight. It tasted like I was eating flower petals coated in dark chocolate...which was actually quite pleasant. This wine was tasted on its own without food. (It also gets the coolest label of the day award)
Winery Review: "90 pts, Stephen Tanzer. Bright purple. High-pitched red and dark berry scents show good clarity and pick up a licorice nuance with air. Tangy and focused on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry and spicecake flavors with an exotic touch of candied violet. Closes spicy and long, with silky tannins building slowly and adding gentle grip. This is a fantastic value."
