Smells like a horse barn.

In old world wines, that can be a good thing.

Light to medium body, with grape skin tannins hitting first, tart at first, then mellows with watermelon rind, raspberry, tart persimmon. Wrap it up with those popsicle stick tannins.
Price point is right on, for this merlot driven blend.

Amazing value Bordeaux! Dark fruits, cherry, a hint of oak. Can someone in the USA start making 12 dollar wine like this?

Very nice, easy drinking, well balanced smooth Bordeaux with a nice dry edge.

A bit disappointing. Spice upfront, earthy, dry, single note, limited finish. Green under notes, medium body.

Okay wine. Not more than that. Decanter scored it 95?? 🥴 but for $15 bottle I can’t complain.

Easy drinking Bordeaux, yet full body and strong backbone. Great with hagelslag sandwich 😄
