A wine to take a face value; not exceptional but not bad at all - black cherries, chocolate, black currant and cedar.

This wine has a dark ruby tint in the glass and a nose of ripe fruit and oak spice. The palate confirms the oakiness of the wine - a bit too much for my taste. The tannins are a bit too forceful, too. The mouthfeel seems weak and watery, while the fruit flavors have an almost candied taste. I have had $15 wines before which were outstanding. This one, unfortunately, does not fall into that category.

Very enjoyable! Chocolate, spice, and oak throughout. Great for the price range!

One of my favorite cheap red wines. Explosive and smooth, with a slightly sweet, zesty and fruitful aftertaste. It's also quite strong, which is a bonus in my book.

Bold burst upfront of deep cherries. A small explosion in the middle with a very light tobacco finish.
