  Nice looking wine in the glass. Well balanced, nose has blackberry, blueberry and a hint of white pepper. Flavors are juicy, not too intense easy drinker. Grocery store buy, would have again for this price, solid B+.

  Deep red with tinges of purple, with high optical density and medium plus specular reflectivity. Aromas are medium intensity, and straight-forward, with red berries (strawberry and raspberry), plum, dusty earth and cured juicy tobacco. Full bodied on the palate, with an even, fine texture that does show some tannic grip. Density and concentration are softer, with an elegant but simple styling. Medium acidity, and a juicy framework for the most part. Flavours of red berries on the attack, with some dusty plum. The midpalate picks up some light spice (black pepper with a savoury side) and earthy fruit peels, and stays reasonably strong. The finish is of juicy tobacco and warm, but bright and crisp fruits (some cherry and plum on top of strawberry). Length is medium minus, and leaves a fresh, clean palate.
  
  This is a decent CdR that is ready to drink now. Well-made, appealing, and with good intensity, but just not really much depth or complexity. Just a good, everyday wine here. Enjoyable if not memorable.
