Fruity and floral! Raspberries, black cherries, and violets. Paired pretty well with pizza. 🍕

Is there a better value out there? Year in and year out, this always delivers.

Fruit, spice, herbs. We like a bit more structure, but this is quite nice for the style.

Never gets tired, this wonderfully complex and balanced wine. Better acidity this vintage, and a real joy. Somebody cares who makes this, and its a boon for those of us who can't afford $$$ wine.

asked the guy at the wine store “what’s your favorite wine under $20?” and this was his choice. really interesting and fun wine. lots of herbaceousness with some dark plum, black olive, and earth. glad i tried it.

The 2016 of this wine is especially delicious.. Its hard to believe you can still get wines this good for so little. Dark, Carignan quality balanced by lift of Grenache and just balances perfectly. Better day 2

Loved it. Very fruity but with a very old-world body. The label says 14%, which is hard to believe. This was a great find
