  Complicated mouth feel. Have certain deepness and good structure. Mainly plum and dark cherry aroma with little hints of licorice and mints at the end. Very smooth and approachable tannin. It recalls me the right bank Merlot based Bordeaux AOC red wine. High quality-to-price ratio.

  8/5/2011 - YWG Wine Guy Likes this wine:

  14$ at Kenaston Wine in Winnipeg. Nose is dark and like some stewed berry's in a little port and green pepper. Palate hits you hard with acid and some gritty tannins. Harsh - then comes the similar dark fruit/a little port and the green pepper quality. I think if i had this with food - grilled meat - this would elevate the meal - i almost get that drinking solo after about an hour in glass...becoming a little "richer".
  
  So - decant x 60 mins and have with typical food fare and i think will sing, esp given low price point. Enough said.

  OK, with little complexity.

  Dark and plummy on the nose with ripe fruit and lots of oak, hint of vanilla. Smooth texture, but a bit hot in the mouth. It doesn't really carry the 14% abv gracefully. Mild tannin, short finish contribute to the overall unimpressive but inoffensive character (or lack thereof) of this wine. Nothing great, but very quaffable, unoffensive. Good for what it is, a decently priced ($14). Mendoza can do much better.

  Very simple yet tastes fine. Red berries and vanilla on the nose and palate. Some wood on the finish. Good to open as a second bottle.
