Brilliant ruby. Intense, smoke-accented aromas of blackberry, boysenberry and exotic spices, along with a suave floral overtone. Seamless and expansive in the mouth, offering energetic dark fruit liqueur, floral pastille and white pepper flavors that pick up a smoky nuance with air. Closes on a sweet blue fruit note, showing solid thrust, repeating florality and velvety tannins that fold quickly into the vibrant fruit. There's remarkable value here, as usual. Raised in an 80/20 combination of concrete vats and neutral French and American oak barrels.(Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February2021)

This is a Spanish fruit bomb that is great for the price. At 7.99 with a 90 rating, its one of the best bangs for your buck. 100% garnacha. Velvety dark fruit with rich, bright flavors.

Bright acidity, great slate minerality, and delicious structured tannins define this wine. The nose carries a field of strawberries, wild raspberries, ruby red grapefruit, cold rose petals, ground nutmeg, and creamy coconut. Balance keeps getting better and better as you let it relax in the decanter. This is a steal at $9.99! Cheers to Friday night!

Good economical wine. Big fruit garnacha. Decent for everyday drinking. Dry, slightly tart and smooth tannins
