Nice dark ruby color, but on the nose I wasn’t happy. I was smelling weeds, bug spray and peanuts. I bravely went in for a taste and was rewarded! I got a very different taste than smell which doesn’t happen very often. In the mouth the wine had great texture and feel with some decent complexity. I’d guess that a real wino would be able to identify more in this wine than I can. I tasted sweet blackberry, black cherry, jam and sage. I don’t know when I’ve had such a bad reaction to a nose of a wine and then found the mouth to be that much better. Since we really care how the wine tastes I have to say that this is a pretty good wine. Wine.com has it selling for 40% off right now so jump on it while you can.
