Shop Review: "Popped and poured with Rabbit aerator. Soft nose of black fruit, vanilla, and wild flowers. Light fruit-forward flavor, not big concentration, with sinewy dark chocolate tannins on a medium body and finish. Excellent QPR under $13. Screw top: substance over form. “Sustainably Farmed,” it says on the label, but who knows? It’s good wine, although I wasn't as impressed with the second bottle as it struck me as a little jammy. This was remedied by chilling."
My Review: While I did not use a decanter I thought this wine opened up quite nicely. It had an aromatic nose of raspberry and cherry. The tannins were quite prevalent in the taste and it had a nice fruity finish.
