Lacks character and balance; lifeless. Has a sort of striated aspect, in which there are "things" there, but they don't really meld into any kind of harmonious whole. Fruit seems artificial—like cherry Koolaid—with a kind of dirty minerality in the core. Inexpensive, but there are better options for the price, and—for a buck or so a bottle more—much better options.

Wine pours to a watery red on rim of glass. Nice bouquet of aromas with red fruit leading the way. Tastes of raspberry and cherry and other red fruits. Decanted for 40 mins before pouring (might have been a few mins too long). Otherwise a very nice surprise as I wasn’t expecting much for the price I paid but I think this would make a great second bottle or a Thursday night wine. Great value to price ratio and I would buy again.

Very fruit forward. Light ruby color in glass and very thin at the edges. There are better wines for the price.
