What I like about this wine? Easy drinking, perfect tannins, a bit smoky.

Some persistent tannin begs for a few years of age on this, an unpacked bouquet of complexity that took some time to open up to something wonderful.

Olga all day! Great value wines and my favorite red if I have nothing else to pair with a variety of foods. peppery and fresh green pepper notes with refreshing drinkability and acid that cuts through thicker foods and keeps me wanting more
