Medium purple in color, this wine revealed plum, leather, tobacco leaves and spices on the nose. The mouth feel was somewhat heavy and the 14% alcohol was prevalent, generating some unwanted heat. The finish was uneven with the fruit, acidity and tannins never fully emerging.
Purchased for $8.99US, this wine was too simple for my tastes. It had subtle elements of the Tempranillo I know and like from Rioja but not enough to make me want to purchase this wine again.

Medium body smooth drinking and nice flavor. Hint of cherry and overall nice wine I would order this one again.
