Hints of blueberries and herby earthiness ("flora" per the bottle) on the nose, lots of mouth-watering acid up front but a smooth body (Molly said "bit supple"), red fruits and some lingering soft tannins.

Blackberries, earth, spices with pleasing tannins and a juicy mouthfeel. Pizza wine for a Wednesday. For $19, an easy choice.

Not my typical go-to but definitely worth a shot under $20. Smooth and delicious.

From Costco. Delicious, rich, slightly sweet, smooth, flowery acidic. Paired beautifully with cream mushroom pasta. Memorable, one of the best of this year.

2016 vintage - loved this. Juicy, fruit forward, medium tannin, layers of flavor.

Incredible fruit, spice, and depth. Complex palette. Incredible wine for the price.
