Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

Generous oak on the nose is supported by gorgeous, fleshy cherries on the palate. Some black raspberry plays here too with your senses. Incredible texture: satin smooth. Smokey finish.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Don rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review: Satin smooth smokey finish.

Jamie Manuel reviewed this wine as follows: Birthday gift from Mom & Peter

Supple in texture, with rose petal and red fruit aromas, this lively, medium bodied wine is aged entirely in small French oak barrels, which adds a subtle, toasty vanilla character and a hint of spice.
