Deep Ruby, medium-body wine with aromas of dark fruit with floral spice notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plums, sweet vanilla spice and firm tannins. Medium finish, well balanced, ending with fruit and earthy mineral character. Nice value!

Smoked brisket to the nose. Tastes like strawberry jam. A light to medium mouthfeel. Very very dry peppery finish.

A quaffable wine that was not very quaffable. Some bready and dirty barrel notes overwhelmed the lack of excitement in the background.

Who knew Malbec (15% bonarda) could taste like this? Thought it was high quality Beaujolais. So crushable
