I should have read the community's drink "by 2006" advice. Still, my wife and I downed the bottle along with a spicy indian curry - both seemed good together.

color: ruby nose: cherry and pencil eraser, with lots of oaky notes; caramel, vanilla, and some whifs of Hawaiian Tropic tanning butter!? medium bodied with red fruit and sweet oak turning a bit dryer. slightly short finish with a bitter edge and woody tannins. Not sure if the fruit would last long enough to have the bitter edge soften and integrate. decent value, but unremarkable. much more CA than Rhone.

Very good value for the money; a nice sipping wine of minimal complexity.

For as inexpensive as this wine is, it is surprizingly good. Not terribly complex, but there is some nice cinnamon spice and dark fruit.
