Our Comments: A drinkable wine at a reasonable price point. Smoothness and upfront strawberry and raspberry flavors complement the long finish that is salty and oaky. It is a safe wine that will serve well as a table wine at low cost. However, it isn’t remarkable and there are other wines that make a bigger impression at the same price point.
