Good medium-bodied spicy, peppery wine with a decent finish. Found it relatively mellow once decanted.

2012. Very inoffensive, smooth cherry but not extraordinary syrah/zin blend.

Mildly spicy. Heavy head. Not much tail. LET IT BREATHE; I actually choked on my first taste. Drank it accompanying a chicken curry which paired nicely.

Easy to drink. Starts off smooth right out of the bottle which is nice when you have company. Does show its weakness after a couple sips....But overall it's easy to like, affordable blend
