Viscous, ample, dark, fruity, resourceful, and complex. A little rough transition from mid to end almost takes away the 90 points.

Nose: raisin, licorice, oak, sherry - very seductive. The oak aspect gives it a nose very much like a typical mid-class Australian Shiraz. Taste: not at all like an Aus Shiraz. Hints of blank pepper, lots of sour cherry, long finish. Silky but with good tannins and great body.

Bouquet: Mr. Bubble meats the Rasberry, imagine the little hairs and all. A very meaty almost rotting fruit wine. Interesting nose. Packs a wallop. At the tail end hints of rubbing alcohol.
Flavor Profile: Touches of Andes Mints, light roast coffee with almost a rasberry schnapps like taste. Tail end dripping in a rasberry jam meets alcohol-like end. For 22 bucks I don't agree with Gary on this wine. It is interesting and is a transition between say the Sky Zin and the Gravity Hills, but a middle of the road I prefer to pass over with as little fanfare as possible. Okay wine, if you have the cash open your palate up and pair with the Gravity Hills and Sky.
