Easy going food wine. Ripe fruits, minerality, wild herbs and a hint of pepper.

Very dark and dense. Decant helped a lot. Will most likely show better in a year or two.

Smoky, heady, with a tiny bit of spice at the end. Soft red fruit I can't quite pick out, and maybe bay leaf?? Lighter body than I expected, but very smooth and deliciously drinkable.

Thick full bouquet of red fruits with the taste, classic meatiness, and smooth tannins of a nice Rhone. Excellent value.

Not bad! Raspberries and earth! Smooth..simple...nice for the price; which I believe was under $10 at Costco! Balance is nice!
Quaffable every day sipper!

Berries and a lot of spice. Acidic Dense and peppery in the back of the throat. Let it breathe and it really finds its balance. Decanting helps.
