Great value, lovely rose n woods aroma, bit of tar and clove, and black cherry. Streamlined and mineral palate, lots of oomph for $13, or even $20, strong furry tannin. Drank well over 3 days, excellent wine! 2010 Vintage

Light, but earthy. Nice balance, savory qualities with dry fruit.

Not much fragrance. Mostly slight grape or fruity scents. Extremely dry wine. A bit of oak. Very good. I would buy it again.

A new region for me. Light with fruit and acid. Paired perfectly with grilled octopus

Interesting. Austere. Blackberry. Prominent tannins but very fine.

Thin. But not in a bad way. Cheerful, early evening wine. Not sweet but easy drinking. Approve!

Earthy start gives way to red fruit that lasts just long enough on the finish. Medium-full body. More than I expected. 2010 vintage.
