Delicious and quite versatile, my current house wine. Last night it was fantastic with pork tenderloin. Great on it's own, too. Inexpensive for the quality. Shocked I still have any left.

Not sure if this bottle is off a bit. Band aid flavor.

Heroic kitchen sink Mencia all right. Red fruits edging on savory. Acid and tannins in the pocket.

Nose: green pepper, stones, red fruit. Almost like a light-bodied Cabernet. Taste: med + tannin. Med. red fruit. Lacks complexity. A bit thin. $22.
