•Shop/wine critic/winery review (From vivino):
Deep purple in color with cherries, oak and vanilla on the nose. The bourbon barrel oak really comes alive in your mouth. Slightly sweet, with flavors of cherries, minerals, tobacco and toasted almonds. The tannins are present but not overwhelming. Nice complexity for such a young wine.
•Your review: For $12, I was really impressed with this bottle. It was aged in Bourbon barrels, which is the reason I wanted to try it origninally. It was a bit sour and bitter, with some pucker going on. But the flavor of the bourbon and the rich cherry made this very enjoyable. It was the first bottle I purchased at the grocery store after the Oklahoma laws were changed, and I was pleased to taste such a deal. I would definitely buy this again.
