Lauren says, “Garnet color. Earthy aroma of mushrooms, ethanol, and vanilla. Black fruits and black pepper flavor throughout. A very spicy finish. Deep acidity and moderate tannins. Grippy fruit skins flourish. Perfect for curry dishes. Relatively easy to drink especially if you like a spicy finish. 7/10.”

Zach says, "Color is garnet-purple in the glass. There is A LOT of sediment. Nose is straightforward, very french, and enjoyable. Notes of licorice, red fruit (cherry/raspberry), and oak/cedar. On the palate: medium bodied, very acidic, mildly tannic, peppery, with a long smooth and lovely fruity, vanilla-cinnamon and spicy finish. I really like it for an inexpensive, French red. The spice becomes muted with time in the glass. Seems like Merlot is the prominent grape. 7.8/10."
