I tried this wine due to not being able to get Cruz Fe Alba, which is amazing. This wine has traits of it, though is not as good in my opinion. This wine is on the cusp of not being dry enough, but makes the cup. I am tasting dark fruits like raspberry and black cherry. Its hinting oak. I feel like I need to let this wine air out a bit before I have my next glass, its not smooth and has a slight burn that lingers for several seconds. All in all its a decent wine for the price.
