Drinkable, acceptable, almost unremarkable. Just "red"-ish. 7.8-8 — 10 years ago

Smells like berries. Almost transparent garnet. Dry with a hint of sweetness. Trace of tobacco before a finish that moves from acidic to tingle. Approachable. My house wine because it doesn't overwhelm any dish, and is easy to drink on it's own. Have paired with balsamic vinaigrette with citrus & greens to pasta marinara. An inexpensive, simple red table wine that doesn't complicate other dishes. — 10 years ago

2011 - Dark red/garnet. Lighter than expected, but satisfying. Immediate fruit (almost plum) with light smoke/earth. Medium finish, but light acid bite. A minute later, it tasted as though I had eaten a cherry. Wouldn't overwhelm many dishes. Easy to drink. — 10 years ago

Smooth & supple, dark red fruit and soft mineral finish. Excellent. Terrific for enjoying a very drinkable red, and holds its own with heavier foods- have paired with Indian Butter Chicken.
