Pretty damn good. Smooth. Dry. Just like I like it. Goes good with chili. Amazing for the price.

Light ruby/red in color with a wide ruby rim.

Fruity nose of strawberries, cherries, currants, licorice, light oak, vegetables, bitter herbs, wet leaves, spices and peppercorn.

Tart on the attack and dry on the palate with sour plums, cranberries, pomegranates, licorice, vegetables, pencil lead, cloves, herbs, earth and black pepper.

Short finish with soft tannins and sour cranberries.

This is a simple table wine from Bordeaux. Unbalanced and better with food. This was probably better a year or two ago. Too tart for my taste. I would rather have something else...

A blend of 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc.

12% alcohol by volume.

Definitely a “me” wine...dark,deep color with a nice finish of spice and a certain “sweetness”, almost caramel.

Extremely dry Bordeaux Blend. Dark cherry, cassis, tobacco Earth, coffee and dried herbs. A bit tart on the firm finish. Dark red in color, this is a robust and dense wine.

Light ruby color with some purple and brown mixed tone. Just a tiny hazy and essentially clear. Nose of sour cherries, berries like raspberries, and a bit cedar. Taste of refreshing acidic raspberry, sour cherries , spice like sage/clove, cola, and some roasted peppers note. Light but balanced. Aftertaste is a bit weak, dominated by the spice note, roasted pepper, a bit cola, and hickory note. Quite an interesting Bordeaux.
