Difficult to enjoy personally. It's a bit out there, I actually opened a second bottle because I thought the first was flawed. Thin, lacking structure, and a reductive/sulfuric note on the nose and palate. Even for the price, I think there are much better options.

Pale ruby colored with a bit of haze and medium viscosity ((13% ABV). The nose needs a bit of coaxing but once there- red and black cherry, baking spice, blueberry pie and herbs. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and low tannins. A medium body that reveals a smooth mouthfeel with flavors of cherry, a medicinal note, coffee and herbs. The finish is short to medium in length and ends on a bit of a sour note. It's a decent drop that gets 87 points from me and should drink nicely till 2027. For $15 it gets 3 stars. This Cinsault blend has some Pais and Carignan. It got 91 points from others, I don't see how.

Medium ruby color. Funky nose with some sour red berry notes. A touch of Asian spice on the palate, somewhat reticent with a light to medium body.

Roasted green pepper on the nose. And there on the palate with a touch of definition to it. A little more clear on the palate.

Lots of spice like a low alcohol Garnacha. Touch of soap or herb to the nose and a light bodied palate.
