A very nice, light, fruit forward wine. Dark purple in color, dark fruit on the palate. Perfect since it’s my Friday!!

Dark purple with red violet highlights. Inviting nose of herby blackberry. Medium full palate echoes the nose with black candy and balsam. Medium acidity and medium minus tannins wrapped around it all. Medium finish continues the palate. A nice, Bordeaux-ish, Malbec-led blend that's a great accompaniment for steaks or burgers.

Clean fruit, but still a very bold wine.

Well blended! This didn’t make me feel like I was in the desert like my most recent Spanish wines. Juicy and acidic!

A perfectly acceptable, inexpensive wine. Juicy wild strawberries, blackberries, and a hint of prunes, tobacco, and coffee. Long finish. A solid value.
