I like this wine every time I have it. Same thing - notable capsicum taste - but well balanced, full bodied, no odd flaws or weird tastes. And a really good value for the $8.99 to $10.99 we've paid for it.

ruby colored with black cherry, bell peppers and spices on the nose. on the palate, this has black rasberry, rich chocolate notes, vanilla and spice. i guess i'm in the minority here, but i found this wine delicious. that funky, vegetal nose is great, and i love how it transitions into a much more fruit-forward palate with a solid finish. 14.1% alcohol and aged eight months 40% new oak.

Mustiness and spicy (anise) on the nose. A bit tannic, and fairly smooth, but I didn't sense the fruitiness other posters mentioned.

Great for the price! Good fruit level and a hint of spice. About the strength of a good Merlot.

Nice wine for the price. Good complexity. Strong notes of capsicum.
