Raspberry red color. Clean and brilliant. Fruity aromas, dark fruits and well-associated oak. Harmonious on the palate with a just the right acidity, freshness and softness. Savory in the mouth. Round tannins. This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of tapas dishes, especially those incorporating earthy wild mushrooms.

I liked this red for it’s full-bodied flavor. It was a favorite with my friends as well.
This wine is always a favorite at any wine tasting event. Everyone seems to enjoy it very much.!!!!!
Really enjoyed this wine. Full bodied with hints of fruit and spice. A nice addition to my red collection.
I really enjoyed this wine! Wonderful blend and what a great finish. Fruit forward but not sweet and yet not dry at all. This is a great wine to keep on hand to please everyone!
Loved this one!
This was my favorite red wine of the tasting – very full -bodied but friuty and mild with a very
pleasant finish. Lovely.
I loved the flavor and body of this wine and I am not a red wine drinker. I prefer whites but this one was awesome. No “oaky” taste at all! I purchased this since my red collection is very limited!
