Winery review: "Now you can't always say that just because a wine is good or expensive it is good or bad. In fact, in my last decade+ of wine drinking i have had to learn my lessons the hard way. Because I am not rich I am typically forced to drink bottles that are in the 12-22$ dollar range. This is perfect for me though as sitting on the couch staring at the fire and television really isn't worthy of $25 dollars a glass. Having said this, from time to time I have found greatness in the under $12 dollar range. Though rare, it happens. When it does, it's a love affair in the making!"

My review: A delicious red! The legs and color are beauties! The nose is seems lacking of aromatic but black cherry pops out. What this wine lacks in a nose it makes up for in flavor! The flavors that pop into mind with this wine are black cherry and blackfruits. There are some good bitters on the side of the tongue. Overall, quite tasty.
