This was in the clearance bin for $5, I think it retails for around $10.A cherry jam quality on the nose, maybe even cherry liqueur.
While there is some cherry present, this is potent with blackberry. There's a bit of white pepper here, some very very mild woody notes, not quite oak not quite cedar, and a nice bit of dirt. The tannins are present and well integrated. Quite good, especially from a box.
Ever so slightly tart blackberry lingers on the finish.
Easy drinking and simple? To be sure. Tasty and nicely balanced? I do believe so.
Wine: 6.5
Value: Yes
