Tasting:

She said: Very dark ruby color, opaque, lots of thin moderately moving legs. If you like aroma and lots of flavor this is a wine you should taste! From start to finish the barnyard aroma came on strong and led to an equally strong fruit flavor that slowly is taken over by the slightly grippy tannins that last onto the long finish. Dry and smooth, the mouth experience is great. At $15 this is a bargain wine; you will seek wide and far to match this flavor and aroma. I love it!
