Beautiful nose with stone fruit, menthol, green peppers and some faint rubber. Cat want's to swim in it! Medium bodied wine with a little grip. Great complexity for the price and joy to drink with food or by itself. Held up and was just as enjoyable - maybe even moreso - on the second day. Sorry to see the bottom of the bottle. Will seek out more.

Tawny red with clear meniscus. Earthy aroma. Light to medium bodied. Most notable here is the roasted red pepper right on the palate.

Hidden amongst the veggies is a beautiful wild strawberry.
