This is such an easy going wine it almost does itself a disservice since there’s nothing really exceptional about it. Ample red cherry fruit and that’s it. However, the fruit is quite pure and there’s enough there to make this work with a range of meals. No reason to hold. Drink now.

Well balanced, spice, jam, acid, tannin- great pairing with all sorts of tapas

At Bar Bodega, Little Italy. Good enough, although rather unremarkable.

I like this a lot. Luscious dark bing cherries all the way. Rich fruity aroma with some spicy oaky dankness upon swirling. Opaque garnet halfway between violet and orangey red. Smooth and juicy on the palate. Velvety tannins finish very well with milk chocolate, sweet rich vanilla and baking spice notes that meld perfectly with the dark cherry. I don't know if this year is an anomaly, but I can find little wrong with this wine, and the tannins actually show some structure. I've never gotten more value or enjoyment for $11, no question.

Ruby in color. Spice (immediately thought of Tabasco sauce!), leather, clove, simmered tomato on the nose. Not what I’m used to so far. Tabasco again on the tongue, ripe red fruit as well once it opens up. Oak qualities are overpowering. Would pair nicely with some steak tacos topped with a tomato heavy salsa.
