This was a pop n pour, sort of by accident, but the wine shows really well right from the start. Delicious blackberry fruits & baking spices on the palate, lovely tingling acidity in the nose, and a lingering, long finish that invites another sip.

Really liked this. Plenty of new world character with red and black fruit, but retained lovely acidity and tannic structure. Paired with grilled pork chops, asparagus, and portobello mushrooms.
Drink now with a 1h decant or hold for a few years. Will certainly develop and improve over time, but a starred cellar defender at the DN price.

Lots of fruit. Nice rounded tannins. Oak. Crazy that this wine only cost around $20.
