Most of these cheaper wines are difficult to find credible reviews online.  All I could find was this weird quote from the producer, "Don’t envy those to whom sleep comes easily. They have never experienced the utter stillness of the night, where the edges blur around reality. Colors are brighter; sounds, sharper. The deep night is the hardest time to be alone – but you will know your soul in solitude as you cross that invisible line into the alternate reality of darkness. Join us."  Pretty weird.

I guess I am on my own here on exploring the flavors of this wine.  It is a sweeter red with a spicy taste of cloves on the back end. I ate it with D.P. Doughs which had sausage in it.  I thought they paired well together.  The sausage really brought the spiciness out of the wine.  It was a dryer wine, the tannin's were very heavy.
