Smoky aromas and lean fruit and herb flavors give a sense of reserve and dryness to this medium-bodied wine. It will be good as a house red that doesn't have to be the center of attention.

Well built, this feels firm and structured and tastes alive and fruity. Aromas suggest blackberry and dark plum, and it tastes of those fruit too, with a velvety texture. It's medium-bodied, balanced by firm tannins and good acidity, and well-rounded in flavor.

Here's a dry, somewhat brawny wine that has some charm. It's filled with briary, peppery flavors, with fruits suggesting blackberries and cassis. Good value in an inexpensive steak and chops wine.
