Plum and blueberries, mellowed by time, plus a little leather. Holding up remarkably well for a wine that is at the value drink now end of the spectrum when new, though a little sourness became evident after being open an hour or so.

Deep purple hue, medium to full body. Black pepper on the nose with plums and a titch of new leather - that is it. Pepper and plum. Fruit forward, lots of plum and berries (black?). Medium + tannins, just about perfect. Was worried the wine had passed it's prime, but I think it is right on. Good finish, carries on for a bit. I think I paid $7 and it was a great purchase. There are better wines, but this was a great value!

Fresh, lively and open, offering pretty blueberry and peppery spice flavors. Finishes with plenty of oomph for a lightish red. Drink now through 2007. 15,000 cases imported
