Light, but rich comparatively. Let it breath and it actually becomes layered, with restrain fruit, vibrant acidity, subtle minerals/earthiness. For the 7$ price this is great.

Don’t panic, it’s organic! Dark in hue. Smells of preserved fruit. Dried cherries and raisins, canned plums and berry fruit snacks. Hint of mint in the nose and palate. Smooth and luscious. Something smokey as well. It’s a easy and simpler Bobal than some others out there. Nice balanced stuff though.

It's fairly basic (light tannins, fruit forward and inviting), which is exactly what you get from most bobals. And for $6, I'm in.
