Dark in color with a nice cherry nose. On the mid palate the wine displays some nice dark cherries to match the nose. Definitely a fruit forward wine. On the medium length finish the wine displays some firm acidity and tannins. It’s quite tart and there are some herbal/green pepper notes present. For the price it’s not a bad deal. I would give it an 88+.
