Huge value red #wine blend.

#Greneche #Monastrell mix. Dark , wild berry aromas. Opaque in the glass , shiny sheen. Palate is moderate with medium body, mild tannin and deceiving acid. More tart, dark fruit flavors. Good structure. Opened 3/23/17

Inky, a little young right now probably. Nose is a bit alcoholic, but some nice stewed fruit and baking spices on the palate. Let it breathe a bit and check your teeth after drinking.
