Impressed at this price point. First aromas in the bottle were a bit dank and suggested looming tannin but it didn't translate to the glass where it freshened up quickly. Plenty of fruit and spice with oak in the background. Medium bodied, nice rounded feel, good bit of structure, good balance. Fairly dry. Would buy again at this price.

Very good first impression. The fruit hits your mouth quickly and there is a solid burst of tannin right off the bat. This is a good wine for those who enjoy dry, tannic red wines. Quite good for the value.
