Earthy, herbal, smoky and odd. Although this may prove a polarizing wine, I am not sold. Unique, weird and perhaps...

This wine is gorgeous! Offers a swath of fruit with a real silkiness. Plums, blackberry, figs & cedar. Nice long finish. Value City!

At times this strange RDD is deep and rich and dominated by alluring dark fruit flavours of fig and plum, whereas at others it's like drinking sour cherry juice, and while that rich/sour combination comes across as a contradiction, surprising wisps of earth, leather, bretty funk, red berries, and even asparagus, along with a heavy oak structure, provide sufficient complexity to keep it interesting. It doesn't quite hold together, not least on the dry-sour finish, but this is still solid value for a wine that while not regionally distinct is at least curious enough to admire.

Generic, sweet, and commercial tasting. Tastes like it could have been made anywhere.
