Smells of a berry (raspberry?) with a hint of bubble gum. Tastes strongly of cola with green/vegetal flavor and pepper backboke. Good balance between the tannins, acidity, and sweetness.

$10 for the 2012 @ Costco. A good buy: smooth for a value wine. Goes well with burgers, pizza.

Robust and full from start to finish, with just a hint of sweetness at the end. Well-balanced mix of fruitiness and spice.

Jammy. Earthy. High acidity. Medium tannins. For the price it's great
