Bit astringent on the nose and palate, kitchen sink type blend seems a bit disconnected with nothing coming through, palate has faint notes of cacao, wood, earth, tart cherry and a hint of pomegranate.

The blend of grapes here adds depth and makes this drink above its $11 price. The Tempranillo definitely dominates though, in a good way.

The syrah apparently shows up more at room temperature. Soft tannins, easy drinking wine. More depth in the flavor I am being told.
