Gravelly and leathery on the nose, with some dark berry essence. Rich, dry, and earthy on the palate. Some deep dark cherry extract in the background. Would be good with rich, red meat braise (not what I had it with). Scratchy tannins. Rustic.

I love deals. $12. #garagiste Dry. Rich but balanced. Fun blend.

Excellent bottle of wine for $14 from WTSO. Big mouth feel and bold flavor.
