13.5%. $5.99 trader joes. Tart start but mellows out as it breathes.

Delicious with our steak dinner! Probably one of the best pairings we've had! Had steak with homemade herb truffle butter mushrooms and onions, mashed sweet potatoes, roasted Parmesan asparagus with a sweet spinach salad mmmmmm!

Pretty dry with a sour after taste. Earthy, tastes of vegetation, mushrooms and raisins.

Tannic, lively freshly cracked black pepper dominance. A certain salinity does also exist in this wine. I am not sure I'm entirely pleased...at all.

Much like its name it proves to be a contender! Not my personal cup of tea for wine but that's just my pallet talking. If you want tannins and a full body for a cheap price. This is the one. Wish I had some BBQ handy pair this fine wine with.
