Really decent for a sub-$10 bottle. Not great, but needed something inexpensive to round out a case so grabbed it. I'd say it's more pleasant but inoffensive than anything else, and avoids the anonymity trap so many very inexpensive wines fall into. In truth, this has a bit of stuffing, if no overt tannin, and could perhaps improve over the short term.

Deep purple color. Nose is deep and dark with roasted plums, blackberries, violets, earth, warm black tea. Juicy on the palate, a medium/full-bodied frame with velvety tannins and lively acidity. Dark, saucy fruit (plums and black cherries) mixed with dark chocolate, violets, loamy earth, charcoal. Warm, lovely, dark and earthy but vibrant, this is so good at this price point.

Vibrant red fruits and berries. Pithy and gritty. True to place, well structured, very good length. Excellent!
