Very earthy, ok for the price, ($15) but lacking depth and brightness.

Deep color, medium body, medium acidity (3.61 pH), lots of oak, earth flavors, some spicy black pepper on the finish.

Got this today at TJ for 15. Nice table wine and just right as already 8 years old. Great value paired nicely with pate and grilled swordfish with roasted beets in balsamic vinegar.

My co-worker brought me this wine today. Very good, earthy with a pepper finish (impressive huh?). 😊🍷😊🍷
