Sickening confection of vanilla cherry syrup. A truly, truly awful wine. If it were any worse it would start to get better again. I weep when I think of the $10 I could have spent on any number of perfectly serviceable wines from Portugal, Sicily, and southern France for the price. I'm trying to think of a wine I had that wasn't outright defective that was quite this bad. I'm stumped.
Bright purple, clean and sharp all around. Nose was rich with bread, wild spice and mixed berry. Dry, medium to high acidity, completely alive with sage, sour cherry, spice. Very nice finish. Good with almost anything. Superb value.

Dry, high acidity and citrus fresh, light to medium intensity, vaguely briny. Simple finish. Would hold up nice a watercress salad and an assertive fish dish. Note a huge amount of character but fulfills its mission.
