Drank 12/6/21.

Another entry from the Costco wine calendar.

This is advertised as a "grou glou" wine. It is easy drinking, but lacks quite a bit of depth. Overall, not bad though. Bouquet is quite pleasant with plum cake, black cherry, and some warm spices. Flavors on the lighter end with plum and black cherry. Light tannins, shorter finish .

3/19/7/4/2 +50 = 85 pts.

Wine Advent(ure) #11. A lighter bodied red blend. Still is fairly fruit forward while continuing to be dry with a good amount of tannins.
