Great value wine. High level of acid that will cut right through a fatty duck breast or juicy steak. Dark fruit, short finish. A bit austere but recommended as a value wine.

Dark ripe fruit with a leathery texture, herbal, and cedar on the nose. A nice meaty finish, but the acid is a little over the top. Mid palate is missing and fruit is sparse. Would pair nicely with a juicy steak or any blackened protein.

Decent value wine. Needed to breathe for a bit. It probably needs 2-3 more years. Nose was floral with a hint of blackberry jam. Front end was a little thin due to the wine being tight but mid palate had a nice acidic balance with a good blend of versions black fruit. The fruit opened up nicely on the finish with black cherry, rose, and a nice blend of red and dark fruit. As it opened up, the tannins softened and it became more fruit forward. I would but again at the mid $20 level.
