I don't know what the heck Josh Reynolds was thinking on this wine with a 90 score. Seriously? Here's what I get. Candied pez/twizzler nose with a volatile quality that isn't pleasant at all. God, why would I even spend the time on this. This is a chemical stew of carbonic tasting fake red fruit with a spiky adjustment of citric acid to balance a wine that clearly has none on its own. I guess the only thing positive here is that they didn't add a bunch of fake wood tannins. So, if I were in jail I would drink this, but I can think of plenty else I'd rather have, in jail or otherwise.

This is really nice stuff. Great nose of red fruit, spice and some cinnamon. Flavourful and juicy on the palate with raspberry and cranberry dominating. Well made and will buy more.

Yum. Round, rich and ready to drink Perceived sweetness goes great with its adequate grip and acidity. I get a mixed berry flavors and a delicate, strawberry and barrel nose. Pleasurable. Winner.

Hard to do better for $10. Typical grenache flavors with raspberry and an almost grapefruit-like component, but it's all kept under control and mixed with a very nice mineral streak. Excellent midweek quaffer.

Really liked this, great value - Red, medium bodied with a nose of raspberry, plum, spice and vanilla, nicely balanced, structured, fairly simply, sour, smooth on the palate with medium length, nice (88 Points).

One of the better $10 bottles of wine that I've had. Full-flavored grenache with mineral on the midpalate and nice acidic lift. I'm heading out to buy a case.

Very simple wine but very pleasant. Not much of a finish, but still enjoyable. Good value for the price.

Decent wine. Like a better level table wine with a smoother, slightly more interesting flavor. Good at $12 - $14

Lot of sediment in bottle and a 'nettly' taste. A lot of stem in this. Light, but not great.

Sour candy raspberry and rose pedal all day long. Smell is very perfumed.

Ok for a cheap Spanish garnacha but I've had better(Atteca & Tres Picos) and found this one "hot".
