    With black cherry, blueberry, milk chocolate and balsamic reduction offsetting the light dill herbaceousness, this wine offers surprising depth for the affordable price. The texture is soft, yet the tannins stand up to the black cherry, charcoal and black-pepper flavors.

  • 201084 pts

    A little rustic and tattered around the edges, but its dry, with ripe blackberry flavors that veer into tannic, bitter raisin skins. Drink this with a hamburger to round it out.
