Zach says, ”Inky purple in color - appears thin. Nose is unimpressive, but not unenjoyable. Notes of vanilla, lavender, and red fruit. Medium bodied. Mouthfeel is smooth and dominated by moderate tannin. Taste is balanced, but finish is tart, chemical, and unenjoyable. There is no reason to purchase this wine. An unpleasant element is pervasive throughout - I am struggling to find the right words to describe it, however. 5/10”

Lauren says, “Ruby plum color. Very mild chemical aroma of red fruits. Medium-bodied. Tannic with some acidity. Black pepper undertones. Simple. Smooth. Nothing special. A strange cough syrup or Nyquil taste at the end that I cannot explain. Thinking most people would be okay with this though. Not worth the price. The best part of this wine was the cork. 5/10.”
