Grabbed another bottle of this good value wine! Medium Ruby with aromas of ripe red fruit and peppery oak notes. On the palate blackberry and dark cherry flavors with oak and slight vanilla spice wrapped in some meaty notes. Good balance of tannins and acid showing some oak and smoke on the finish. The Bobal grape is usually blended, however this 100% offering is a great value.

Extremely funky (barnyard) aromas with hints of dark berries, vanilla and pepper spice. Dark berry fruit flavors with notes of milk chocolate, tobacco and oak. Hint of smoke on the finish. Very interesting. Appreciate you bringing this one, Ron B.

Deep purple in color. Blackberry, cinnamon, wet earth with a touch of barnyard, sharp licorice, oak, smoke, dust, and red cherry. Tart pomegranate and cranberry bitterness on the palate. Medium plus acidity that persists to the finish with persistent medium tannins that are just shy of chewy. Tart cranberry, baking spice, and a hint of barnyard on the finish.
