February 22, 2016 - Red fruit, more jammy and dried than fresh, cassis and vanilla, nice wood notes. Definitely a crowd pleasing red, easy to enjoy, but do so sooner than later as the fruit notes are diminishing.
May 5, 2012 - On the nose there's a raisiny note, strawberry, milk chocolate & a slight oxidative note ~ The palate is fairly big bodied but a bit flabby, lacking tannin & acidity. There are flavors of cassis, cocoa, vanilla & stewed prunes ~ Overall it's hard to dislike this wine, it's a crowd pleasing style but it's still a bit disappointing
March 13, 2012 - Nice bottle. Drinking well. Nothing special but a good bottle for everyday drinking.

January 31, 2011 - Was looking forward to trying this wine after hearing so much about it. I won't be looking forward to it again.
January 8, 2011 - Not objectionable, though I won't buy again. Hardly any fruit, and nearly no tannin structure. No need to wait in this one.
December 29, 2010 - Bon vin de semaine. Un peu d'air lui fait toujours du bien.
December 6, 2010 - I think this wine is better than it's getting credit for, a great daily drinker and a screaming deal for the price. We typically find it at World Market for $10 a bottle.
