  This has lasted surprisingly well in the cellar for being a dirt cheap wine.

  Medium purple with a hint of garnet. Prune and spice with a bit of white pepper. Nose and palate are similar.

  Abundant red and blue fruits on a very silky frame with earthy and savory components emerging mid-palette. More beautiful red/blue fruits on the medium long and clean finish with no bitterness or astringency. Amazing QPR at $15 and perfect mid-term cellar candidate. Drink now or soon, wine is peaking.

  Good stuff and now completely ready to go. Integrated tannins and a silky texture support red fruits and spice along with some mineral elements in the medium bodied wine. Nothing super special, but good QPR at under $20. Drink now or next year or so.

  Simple, yet very drinkable wine.
