Vintage: 2015. Another great find at Trader Joe’s. Smooth with decent tannins. Let breathe for about 1 hour. Great bottle to drink when you just want a glass as this may be even better on the 2nd day after opening.

Needs to breathe, but good table wine. Good for the price at TJ’s

Trader Joe's, $7
Fairly dark red in color that leans towards orange/brown. Very astringent on the nose and can barely make out some oak and maybe prune-like fruit. Very dry and acidic but not undrinkable, good tannins. Kept getting some nice spice notes that kept it interesting but ultimately too dry and tart for my tastes. Not bad for the price if you're looking for a decent dry table wine.
