Loads of very nice bell pepper, dried herbs and red fruit. Tannins that leaned towards rustic with very integrated oak. This wine kept me thinking.

Chocolate, cherry, tobacco on this guy. Nice structure that has a few more years before it fully mellows out if you're so inclined. Good value.

Cherry and currants on the nose, bold and some sweetness in the front, goes into peppery spice with dry tannin finish...perfect for steak dinner

Tangy with deep flavors. Not necessarily great for sipping but this would be great with food.
