This goes for $15. This may be an unfair thing to say but I view this as a grocery store sorta wine...I don't know if I've seen it at an actual wine shop, it's more like the middle to top shelf of the local large chains. That's not a criticism, more giving you an idea of where to find it.Black cherry, chocolate...actually, quite a bit of chocolate and some coffee as well for a nice mocha nose.
Fruit forward, but enough depth to not be fruit bomby....cherry and blueberry for the most part, but some stone fruit comes through along with a bit of very mild green spice.
Almost some Dr. Pepper like qualities on the finish along with peaches, like the red peach flesh around the pit.
Not too shabby....not shabby at all. Approachable and balanced enough that I'd have no qualms serving this at some sort of BBQ this summer.
Score: 87
