I don't know how but this got worse. More and more bitter. In the end I just couldn't finish it. Bad bottle?

Slightly earthy, decently tannic. Paired well with steak salad. Would buy again. Also made the last glass into a pretty good sangria, so wine is versatile too.

This an excellent wine for the price paired with anything. Light and fruity. Central coast wines are just as good as Napa and cheaper

Really good for $7! Plum and oak. Always a consistent wine at this price point.
