Decent everyday Bordeaux at a remarkable price. Good fruit, and decent balance but the tannns a little too prominent. Not a keeper, but a good barbecue wine.

A brilliant, bright ruby in color, this one fell flat for me on taste. Notes of strawberry and raspberry, but not well balanced with too prominent of tannins and very high acidity. Maybe this will mellow out after a few more years?

I normally drink CA cab, but do somewhat like (red) Bordeaux and Rhone, so take this with a grain of salt if your main wine is Bordeaux. For $8, I totally got my money's worth, but it seemed a bit lacking in backbone, so I won't be going back for more. But, I have no real basis for comparison to other wines at this price point. Ready to drink now.
