Light garnet with strawberry nose. Tart dry mineral, chalky, medium ripe CA strawberries, not Hoods. a bit of leather and light earthy funk. Clean tart berry fruit morphing into more ripe straw berries and stemmy tannins on the finish. This may not appeal to everyone, but I find the complexity in a relatively inexpensive wine very rewarding. A glass pour led me to search this out and I am not displeased.

Juicy, almost syrupy cherry/berry aromas. Palate starts out rich with distinct note of cola, with the fruit turning green and slightly floral. Leafy tomato notes dominate the finish. Bottle had been opened for 4 days - will re-try.

Not a fan. Very manipulated and artificial tasting and smelling.
