Color - Dark Red nearly Purple
Nose - Amazing nose! Blackberries, subtle spice and vegetal tones, licorice
Taste - This wine is a wonderful fruit explosion with awesome creamy spice hints (vanilla and licorice) just as the fruit fades. The wine absolutely screams "Drink Me!". The color, the nose, the taste all make me want to consume the entire bottle as soon as possible. I paired it with gouda for a great blend of creamy cheese and crisp wine. Slightly sweet, but not overwhelming. Just a tad bit too much acid from the alcohol. The tannins are rich, round and smooth. All of these things make this a must have for a wine of this price (14.99 at Total Wine), buy it now, because it's superb! The perfect wine for the price. Develops a nice vegetal clean edge when consumed with something sweet (chocolate, fruit, etc). Smooth, creamy, complex with savory foods and cheeses. This wine is my second favorite wine at this price.
Overall, just complex enough to impress the wine snobs, smooth enough to appease the everyman. Perfect for any occasion. Drink it now and taste the flavor of Awesome! The only reason that this wine is my number 2 is because my current favorite wine is just a little more complex and inviting than this wine, but this isn't far off.
