Ripe and fruit forward on the nose and palate with black cherries and a bit of baking spice in fine grained tannins. I got a little green bell pepper at class but not tonight, but it paired awesome with skirt steak and pepper fajitas.

Light but very bright. Not complex but pretty impressive for the price.

Sharp nose of barnyard funk. Sweetness and green bell pepper on the palate, but seems not a well-balanced wine.

Not a fan of dark red dry wines. I will say that I originally tried drinking it cold but it was definitely much better at room temperature.

Hints of fruit, slight heat on the aftertaste. Interesting pairing w chocolate...brings out the raspberry.

A good easy drinker - looking for a carmenere since we have had some blends we enjoyed - this was not tannic, light fruits, both enjoyed
