Surprisingly well balanced and a great value. Definitely taste the syrah and carignan.

I remember having this last year and regretting that I got two bottles of it. Some time honing my tasting skillz and while I don't hate it or even dislike it much, it still isn't a good wine by any means. The nose is too one note: some oak and damp leaves but nothing else. The wine itself has little body, some acidity and no finish. I can't imagine what I'd pair this with that wouldn't go better with any other wines.

Cross marketing with Argentina to have the mountains on the label? Dark color. Aroma is Frenchie to the max. Bushes in the wild lands. Flavors are juicy and balanced. Kinda like a Spanish Granacha. Pretty flavorful and dense though.

Definitely in the jammy category with a full body red color. Not bad. If you like fruit forward this will be YOUR jam. I’m drinking it alone while cooking dinner. It is vastly different from the Rhône style table wine that I was drinking earlier.

Pretty nice, somewhat jammy red. $7.99 is a good deal.

Surprised by all the bad reviews. If you like "earthy" wines this great for $10. Pairs nice with meat and some aged comet.

By itself it is very bland and boring. Nothing to write home about. Paired well with cheese and hard meats. Drinkable but wouldn't buy again.
