Deep ruby color. Shy nose of purple plum. Abundant fruit. Soft tannins, with a slightly tart, but pleasant finish. More grenache than syrah character. What's not to like at this price point. Much better than a simple quaffer that will enhance savory food or any social occasion. Yes, it's New World in style, but it's less than $11/in case quantities.

Seamless essence of sweet fruit with great structure. Abundant dark cherry flavors, fine acidity, mellow tannins. Fine food wine even with Italian food. New world grenache for sure, but marvelous expression of the grape.
