Tasting:

She said: To be totally honest we chose this wine for our dinner because we wanted to drink a red wine and I had not prepared accordingly. That being said the wine was delicious with the dinner but even better afterward when we were sipping. The first sniff had hints of alcohol but the second was more fragrant. The tannins were immediately obvious so I knew that I would ultimately enjoy the wine at least a little. As it turned out, I loved it. Without a huge flavor or big body, this wine was dry and had subtle earth flavors that lasted into the medium long finish with nice tannins. Yum. As I sipped I became even fonder of what this wonderful wine had to offer. A delicious wine at under $15.
