Lovely and deep. Has a fairly rich and mellow taste which is very pleasant compared to the light and uninspiring nose. The finish is slightly deep but has zing to it. I am a bourbon drinker and have 40+ bottles in my collection and can say that I completely forgot this was finished in bourbon barrels. I guess if you're thinking bourbon while you're drinking, you get a sense of it in the exhale at the end of the finish, but that's about it. But there must be some influence in keeping the taste a bit rich. Whatever the bourbon is doing, I like it. — 5 years ago
Light and sweet. Almost drinks a moscato. Good with maybe some nuts and light cheese. Perhaps pair with a salad or some green thai curry. Not good for bold pairings. Doesn't hold up against dark chocolate. Enjoyed though; just need to make sure you don't mute it in the pairing. — 5 years ago
Baking spices, particularly nutmeg and cinnamon. Honestly I didnt have much going for it on the nose. No theatrics or promising fruity notes. Then the mouth was lackluster. Definitely a bust. — 5 years ago
Deep but enjoyable flavors that are weighed down by a trunkload of tannins. Quite enjoyable with a meal but I really needed a pairing with this that was more substantial than crackers and cheese. — 5 years ago
Easy drinker for a table wine that adds something more than just easy drinking. Pair with casual foods and dont expect too much. Very enjoyable at the price. Very easy to buy a case and go through wothout getting bored. — 5 years ago
Lots of deep fruits. Berries and plums. But with this unmistakable Spanish twang. You can smell it in advance. That smart sour note. It expands into something unique and fun though not entirely desirable. Like a tangy jam on top of the meaty dark fruits. — 5 years ago
Berries for days. Berries for weeks! Berries for YEARS!
But that's about it. Other than berries, it's a nondescript red blend that has the personality of an empty teapot. Non offensive and easy to drink. Worth it at half it's cost so I won't be taking this adventure again. — 5 years ago
First sip is great. Second is good. By the end of the first glass you're ready for something new. Doesn't have any holding power but is decently drinkable as a cheap table wine. I am glad i tried a bottle but there are too many options out there for me to try another bottle of this anytime soon. — 5 years ago

Dry dry dry and lovely. A little surprising at first at the dryness yet lacking tannins. Smooth and lovely. Honestly took me a few sips before I Ave started appreciating it but by sip 4 or 5 I realized I really enjoyed it. The grapes started to appear and share a pleasant sweet flavor that appeared around the dry blanket. Quite nice and definitely going to he a crowd pleaser for anyone who appreciates a good day white wine. — 5 years ago
