Pours sangria in color. ON THE NOSE: licorice, menthol and smoke. ON THE PALATE: plum and not much else. Did open up a bit after a few hours but not much here at all a slight reductive taste on palate and a very short finish even a hint of sweetness

Brawny quaffer. Great for grilled meats and hearty cheeses.

Reductive and Brett---too long in the screw cap.

2013. Wish this was under cork rather than screw cap. Reductive stink makes me wonder what it could have been. It opens nice. This was much better the second day.

Loved this wine tonight with basque chicken and pipérade. Some light fruits- blackberry and raspberry. Super light body. Whisper of leather near the end. Super drinkable and not very expensive. Plan to buy some more.

A lighter red with compelling licorice/smoke/spice on the nose. On the palate is mostly plum and ripe cherry, maybe raspberry, but falls flat. Deep ruby color and quite bright; a good value, but doesn't bring me back to the glass.
