I had such high hopes and this wine just fell flat. I never score this bad but I couldn't even finish the bottle

Vintage 2012. Very bright, and surprisingly smooth for an unfiltered wine.

A good, anytime sort of wine thanks to its medium-plus body, smooth tannins, light to was and full-on "red-ness", just as its label suggests!

Great mouthfeel, bright fruit, good acid. Love that the pyrazines come through on the nose. A pleasant surprise.

Not a bad blend, easy to drink and neither watery nor heavy.
