Consistent with last bottle...pleasant red fruit bomb. Dry, but candy-like with cherry and strawberry. Light tannin. I'm sure this would do well in the mass market. Considerably better with a tomato-based sauce in the stromboli I ate than on its own in a glass after dinner.

(4.5/5) Very delicious from the start and it survived well over a few nights. A little on the dry side, the fruit notes were not accompanied by the expected sweetness. However, the flavor more than made up for it with complexity.

Very bright red fruit here...I wouldn't say candy, but rather very, very fresh and bright fruit. Good acidity, a little light on body which improved with air. Later I got just a hint of black coffee in there...made me think of a South African pinotage I once had. Made me wonder if there were connections between Portugal and S. Africa in the wine trade. My wife didn't care for it...I had it with a burger and she had it with a veggie dish. Serves her right. :)

Nice rich dark color. Nose is less distinct but dark fruit dominates. Plush fruit palate, low acid and tannin, has a rich lush finish. very enjoyable.

Single note. No complexity at all, which is even more surprising for a blend.
