Personally, I find the wine to be deliciously bold and well-balanced with dark black fruit and hints of dusty cocoa. The tannins are well integrated and smooth. I could drink this wine and enjoy it on its own, but also find it pairs well with grilled meats or red sauces.
I think it drinks well above its price point; one of those wines that is just a pleasure to swirl and sniff before sipping.

Dave Butner had a 40+ year career in IT as a software engineer. Winemaking was a hobby that turned into a second job, opening a winery with a tasting room. He contracted with vineyards to purchase grapes for his wines, ran the winery for eight years, doing it all by himself, a one man operation, selling it in 2016 and then did winemaking consulting for start up winery for some years afterwards.
It was always a small operation. He made 1,000 cases a year at most, doing it all while keeping his day job. Had a ton of fun and was successful in the sense of being written about in wine publications and such, pouring at wine events and competitions. Wine has been a big love of his for 40 years. He has traveled and tasted all over the major wine regions in the US.
