Drank 12/5/18. Paired with lamb burgers.

This was a great value, originally priced around $17, currently on special for December with an additional 20% off at total wine for around 11$.

Nose of plumbs, cherries, leather, and black pepper.
Flavors of red and black cherry, soil, and tar backed by medium tannins. Dry, medium to long finish. An impressive wine for a lesser chateau in a mediocre year.

3/21/7/4/4+50 = 89 pts.

2014 - a little flat at first, but it grew on me. Unsurprisingly very much like a Merlot.

I would think this would've been better as a pairing with some food. Fruit forward. Enjoyed the light taste.

Light wine for the area. Smooth and pleasant.

Very pleasant. Solid structure, tasty reddish fruit, pretty clean finish with just a bit of lingering drying. Yeah, that'll do.
