Light, supple red. Awful nose, like a skunk or garbage almost. More pleasing on palate with some rich fruit and silky tannins.

Very savory aroma (almost like chives or sour cream and onion chips); deep ruby color; light body; fruit forward flavor; very different

Goes well with Sister catch ups (definitely). Goes well with tapas (probably).

Smooth and oaky, enjoyed it.

Perfectly pleasant and drinkable, if unmemorable. Smooth and mild, not great nose but nice finish.

A bit "funky" on the nose. Much better on the pallet. Dark cherry with some chocolate notes. Smooth and balanced tannins. Acceptable weeknight option.
