85 Points

Friday, March 30, 2018 - Thankfully, my second bottle is not corked. Medium (+) ruby color. Aromas of black fruit, earth, light funk, fresh herbs, and a little paint thinner (ethyl acetate?? What's going on with this producer?). Very subtle on that last one and not too detracting or concerned on my end. Medium body, acid, and finish, with an easy, forward and fruity constitution—this is clearly not intended as a "serious" wine, but rather a crowd pleasing, drinkable one. The flavors are in the darker fruit register, but there's a bright, tartness to them like a black raspberry. There's not really much else going on. Maybe a hint of minerality, but overall, this is a pretty basic b(ottle). It's a fine quaffer though, and your family will love it.
