A solid, workman-like, flavorful red for simple weeknight dinners.Dark black ruby color. Medium intensity nose of smoky peat and black cherry fruit. Hits the palate squarely with full body and loads of direct, dark black cherry fruit. A wee bit of tannin adds structure, and there's very good acidity. Lacks complexity, but it's primarily Carignane, which usually doesn't aspire to great heights of subtlety anyway. I'd give it a B-, but not in the sense of a really good student who disappoints, but of a C student who gives as good an effort as he can. Was $9.99 from Winex.com. Imported by Boutique Wine Collection, Phila., PA.
