Paired well with ribeyes. Finish was short. Good value for $10.

Ruby color with hints of violet. Medium+ body. Very fruity on the nose: mostly blueberry and blackberry jam. Some jasmine notes and hints of pepper. The fruit is present on the palate but subsides to a somewhat bitter finish that could pair well with strongly flavored meats. Normal+ tannins for Syrah. The finish is shorter than expected. For the price this is a good wine.

A pretty boring cab. Bought based on the label so not surprised. On the dry side

Old worldy. Not sweet. Opened up pretty quickly. Dry but not too tannic. Hint of vanilla and earth.
