  Not sure where low scores all came from. Very solid everyday wine. If you are looking for “spicebox” or eucalyptus or tobacco or anything else you might love in complex wines, look elsewhere. This is simple, but very well made. Fruit forward in a new world way without being cloying. No oak chip vanillin flavors, just a good wine that all at table will enjoy. It is also a great value which gives its rating a boost in my book.

  $10 at Costco.
  Like it because it tastes real. It tasted pure with no oak. Great value. Excellent quality, balance, plenty of black/red fruit with silky texture.
  
  Left a full glass, about 7oz, on the table for 4 days. Came back to it and really liked it. It had plums and prunes with some meats.

  Sat, 12/8/18, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): A blend of C.S., Merlot, C.F., Petit Verdot, & Malbec grown on a volcanic plateau from 1,300-3,900 ft above sea level.
  
  N: Slightly closed; Smoke slightly atop ripe berries with notes of earthiness? Intensity lurking?
  
  P: Med body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by some astringent pucker which, without losing its "frt", morphs into a LONG, very, VERY slightly tangy finish with a SWTNESS (& hints of raisins?) to the dusty tannins. DESERVES through '19, then drinking for 3 yrs more. 13.9% ABV; My VG/VG+, a CLEAR downrate *if* one likes/prefers a sweeter style. 92 pts, a "Best Buy", & #5/Top 100 "Best Buys" for '18 from WE @ $13. [This vendor's $11.95 puts it in the top 1/3 of wine-searcher's postings.]

  K&L tasting for Passover wines. Brief note. Shut down and backwards right now barely giving up cherry and hot dusty stones on the nose. Palate is a bit more expressive showing nice tight red fruits and good earth. No complexity or future potential to speak but pleasant enough now.

  Almost no oak. Beautiful floral nose. Flavorful and smooth. The lean toward sweet sap balanced by a nice minerally midpalate.
