Blackberries, spices and chocholate. Medium acid and tannins. Some sweetness which needs to be more balanced by more structure in the wine.

talk about surprises, this one took the cake. Incredible raspberry jam-like notes with essence of vanilla bean, wow, there is no way I could have predicted this one being the Mexican wine of the night.

2003 vintage

Decanted 1 hr. ahead. Deep garnet color. Nose is present but nondescript, with black pepper, cherries, woody notes. Pleasantly full weight on the palate, with firm acidity and plummy flavors with pine notes. Finishes with a bit of tar and coating but velvety tannins. A pleasant bottle, very good QPR at c.$10.

2010 vintage

Un vin bonbon. Tanins fondus, acidité faible et une sucrosité légèrement trop élevé. Heureusement pas trop alcoolisé. Un bon accord avec viande sauce douce, coté levé, porc à l'asiatique, etc

2010 vintage

D'un rouge foncé et violacé, ce vin émane des saveurs de réglisse, de prune et de cerises avec une touche poivrée. Son prix en fait un parfait candidat pour la semaine. 87/100 RQP++

2010 vintage

Frutos rojos en compota más presentes que en otras ocasiones, pero me sigue gustando como vino para el diario.

2010 vintage

Inky purple; bell peppers, black pepper, plums; pruney, slightly spicy, lush, full body, low acidity, slightly astringent tannins, short finish. Quaffable but jammy and flabby. The opposite of my palate preference. This won a gold?

2010 vintage

Buen vino, excelente con pizza de camarones, taninos medios.

2010 vintage

Both bouquet and taste and not to forget colour told my senses one thing right from the start: juicy! Pure, utter and unadulterated red currant juice + hints of other berry fruits. From the first to the last sip. Very vital and straight juice-a-like. Well, perhaps I spotted a few hints of red currant sherbet with some traces of nutmeg and pepper, too. Anyway, 90% tasted like red currant juice. Luckily the sweetness wasn’t superimposed or pungent, but definitely present! …

2010 vintage

The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blackberry, Raisin, Strawberry Jam, and Fig. It tastes like Prune, Raisin, and Blueberry. The body is Medium. The wine has Round texture. The wine finishes Long.

16/20 * * * 1/2 SAQ: $C VISUEL: Rubis cerise OLFACTIF: fruité sur la cerise et la framboise. Bonne intensité. GUSTATIF: Très bien cette petite syrah du Mexique. Certains diront peut-être que c'est un peu raccoleur mais avec un rissoto aux légumes, il garde bien sa place ENSEMBLE: Très bien !

2010 vintage

Surprenant ce petit mexicain (acheté au Mexique) très violacé, genre vin nouveau, qui est très agréable et assez long en bouche. Il faut le carafer pour lui donner une chance de s'ouvrir et le servir un peu plus frais (14-15 degrés). On retrouve surtout de la prune, du poivre noir et du chocolat.

New wine in store from Baja California and product of Mexico. Price is low @ 12$ so giving it a go - not sure about this...deep dark purple and nose is light, slightly artificial tone to it. The palate is light/medium bodied, good hit of acid and light tannins. Dark cherry notes, wonder about cherry cola. Finish is medium length and some green pepper notes and not much else...

2007 vintage

Trop chaud et corsé pour cette soirée relax entre amis ou de la bière aurait suffit. Outre le contexte, ce vin reste excellent pour son aspect savoureux et sa texture riche et fruité, tout en confiture.

2007 vintage

Excellent value for the price (about $ 6 in Mexico).

2007 vintage

Importante primero garrfear,

2007 vintage

Raspberry, blackberry, smoked meat, pepper, chocolate. Medium bodied, green tannins, lacks a bit of fruit, shortish finish. Will not improve.

2007 vintage

Very ripe with notes of leather, currents, and some kirsch. Still holding up surprisingly well for such an inexpensive wine!

2003 vintage

Really impressed. Wasn't expecting much. Lots of red fruit, vanilla, and pepper. Somewhat simple but surprisingly good.

2007 vintage

Same as first tasting note, but seemed denser this time around, lovely!

2003 vintage

Full bodied and ripe. Loaded with fruits like black cherries and cassis, little leather. Lacks a little complexity in the finish. Definitely a good wine.

2003 vintage

Very subtle and exciting wine. It has a nice nose of soft oak, maple syrup and a touch of pepper. It had a clean yet dense core of jammy blackberries and strawberries and a medium, fruity finish, not tannic at all.

2003 vintage

Very fruity to the nose, medium body with lots of fresh fruits to the taste as well. Little tanins and nice finish, ready to drink now.

2003 vintage

Good earthy fruitiness to the wine. Medium/Heavy-bodied wine, perfect for grilled meats like burgers. Good value for the money.

2003 vintage

Purple-black; prunes, blueberry pie, black currants, kirsch liquor; cooked fruit, jammy, medium-full body, good grip, well-integrated tannins, nice finish. Tasty grape but definitely a jammy New World style. Good quaffer for $9.95.
