Dark black ruby in the glass showing a nose of coffee, black cherry, black olive and cocoa. Ripe and soft showing flavors of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, cocoa and hints of vanilla. Has a dusty character and the tannins are soft and sweet on the long finish. Nice wine. 14.5% Alc/vol. $27
Paired with leftover Heartland flank steak, roasted potatoe wedges and a wonderful salad.

Another solid citizen that's in the weeners gunsights nost vintages. Are you sure this is Drewski and not some imposter? This is 2 or 3 posts in a row that I not only could spell and pronounce the names of the wine but have actively been slurping them dudes for meeny vintages. Praise the Lord! WW

Popped another last night with a close friend, Jeff, who stopped over. This bottle, though, was a horse of a different color. Very oaky with an Oz, milkshake flavor profile going on and disjointed. Jeff liked it but not so much I.

Sounds very suspiciously like a bad bottle.
