The wine has a deep, rich ruby color with nice silky ‘legs’.  The wine opens with a smooth, mellow nose initially followed closely by cherry cola, black licorice, black cherry, and candied fruit.   As the wine opens more berry aromas appear.  It is a very smooth with intense jammy blackberry, cherry and dark chocolate with a toasted oak finish and good levels of acidity.

I give it a solid B and at under $7 that makes this a great deal.
