Honestly, I'd read some things about this bottle that always made me hesitant to open it. I was happily surprised that this was a approachable even w/ some firm tannins. This wasn't too sleek or polished & there was some degree of nuance there for an entry level wine. This was one of the first wines to go in a group that I opened for a party.

My Grade:VG. Medium-bodied, rounded cherry and red plum flavors, dark chocolate, fine tannins, good minerality and medium acidity. Well-balanced quaffer. (see my profile for grades).
