Not a bad bottle. I was expecting a wine that would be barely palatable and which would require the food to dominate. It was actually quite pleasant. Light red fruit nose, good color, and fully mature body in the mid palate. Finish was medium and taty, with drying peppery overtones, which I do prefer. Not sure about the lower scores others have given. Perhaps its time is now rather than two years prior? I paid five bucks for it back when and would not be disappointed had I paid $15. 86/87

Light body, fruity, nice acid balance. Nothing complex. This was a gift but based on the retail price good value.

Soft, round, and a bit lazy. Nothing amazing but very drinkable. Great for the price.

Nose of berries. Balanced fruit and oak. Drinkable. Not bad at this price point.
