Dark opaque color. Day two: menthol on nose with hints of quinine. Corn husk tea on palate and pine needle essence to go with juicy fruit. good balance and acidity with medium tannin. Good complexity and interest.

Overly extracted to my palette. Would likely have enjoyed more with an asado. Dark fruits, wood, oak, leather with mid-high tannins. Maybe could've used a few more years in the bottle?

With grilled hanger steak and potatoes. Opaque crimson. Plum and a touch of licorice on the nose. Cherry. plum, some spice on the palate. Medium body with a smooth but not long finish. Not particularly complex, but worth the money.

inky purple with long legs. meat, black pepper, olives, and stewed tomatoes on the nose. promising. palate muted. blackberries and not much else. hot and disjointed. an odd, sour, vegetal ending and essentially no aftertaste. time and air helped a little. be good with a cheeseburger.

Straightforward and pleasing. Some cigar box on the nose along with a concentrated cassis note. Palate shows round dark berry fruits, well integrated acidity.

Wines At Our Table; Week of August 16 2015; 8/10/2015-8/16/2015: Opaque violet color with mixed black fruit, licorice, and low-key spice and cedarwood aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied with good acidity, ample fruit, and soft tannins with black currant, black cherry, plum, vanilla and a hint of spice flavors. Medium finish.

A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with black currant, raspberry, and licorice and spice, was a bit disjointed, prior years were better. www.winelx.com

Big fruity notes. $10 per bottle is a steal.

Ripe plum and cherry liquor on the nose. Straightforward wine; plummy with hints of raspberry and spice, but lacking structure.
