If you forget the grape breakdown and producer this is a fun wine. It's like slightly beefed up beaujolais. Simple to the point, acid and tannin in harmony, and a stone-y finish.

Wonderful ripe red fruit, pepper, and a hint of smoke on the nose. Dry with light tannins. Red licorice, juicy, and quite drinkable. Yum!

Fruity and light. As someone said, like a Beaujolais. It's solid for $10 at K&L.

Multiple recs on this one, but really didn't enjoy it. Empty body and a vinegar mouthfeel.

Surprisingly good for $10. Fruity to be sure but w a light hint of earth for a bit of interest.

Light and refreshing with some nice herbaceous notes. Ideal for bringing to parties.
