hotwine: i had posted on this wine back in september. didn't like it as much as you did. maybe the bottle i had was slightly off...

"($9.99; 13.5%) bright red, going toward orange at the rim. nice full nose of sweet cherries, earthy spice and hints of leather and red licorice. silky mouthfeel and a good finish, but the flavors don't live up to the promise of the aromas. tastes of tart cherries and strawberries. might already be on the downslope. drink now. 82 points."
