Very drinkable, while cooking and with grilled steak. Lynnfield Whole Foods. Definitely would get again, perfect summer wine.

Would not drink again. Did not enjoy. Even aerating it did not help.

Bold and rich with smooth tannins. It's a little too jammy for me but has really nice flavor

Good balance and rich red. I like the fruity and smooth taste of south american wine and how they are not as thick and bitter as the French and Italian counterpart.

Full body, deep color and fruit with cocoa, cherry and fennel hints. A nice value for $14.99 at Whole Foods
