Nice value. Aroma is standard fare, but the wine surprised with a peppery and dry finish.

Great 2012. Light on the fruit, but not too tannic. Perfect blend.

Surprisingly great med to full bodied wine. Slightly oaky with a hint of chocolate. Loved it!

Im sure its not my glass, but repeated inhalations make me comfy in saying the nose reminds me of what it smell like when you first unpackage a plastic poncho...almost burnt polyester dominant nose. Bold body, def needs to open up. After misleading nose. One remembers the $15-$20 price and takes comfort in acknowledging an oak presence and all it should be. Would buy again.

And the label is so Magritte. Fitting as its surreal.

Smooth but bold - good on its own or with tasty food
