Holding up surprisingly well, although I didn't intend to push its limits as much as I have. Nice core of red fruit, raspberry foremost. Definitely time to finish up, though.

I was so-so on these, but this bottle was perfect! Dry, smooth, meat wine. But the syrah comes through. tastes more like a norther rhone than a bordeaux. A few hours in, the fruit got a little stronger and the wine is really delightful. I'm looking forward to showing off this 8-dollar super value.

Very enjoyable. My wife especially liked it. Lighter in style for having Merlot, Syrah and Cab as the three main varietals with some wet rocks and good acidity. Great value.

subtle hints of spice on the nose, lighter body but with some bright red fruit, slight tannins, mellow finish with good acidity. just enough structure and flavor to make this a nice food wine. for $8 you can't go wrong.
Merlot (30%), Syrah (30%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Malbec (10%)
