This is an exceptionally smooth easy to drink wine. The color was deep red. There was no bouquet. The tanins were very soft. The oak was present but subdued. There was good fruit.

The wine is a ruby red color. The open and inviting nose has blackberries, black cherries, minerals, dried herbs, spices, black pepper, and a bit of earthiness. This has medium body, fairly solid tannins and very good acidity. On the palate spicy, peppery, mineral laden fruit takes center stage with dried herbs and some earthiness coming in on the back end. The finish is a touch short but very flavorful. A bit of additional cellar time may help the finish fill out a bit. This was an absolute steal for the $9 I paid.
