Very good BBQ wine, consisting of 80% Carignane, 16% Syrah, 3 % Granache & 1% Viognier. Nose of plum, cherry and assorted dark fruits. Medium bodied and smooth, w/a capital S, really easy drinking and great price point at $12 or so/bottle.

Boy, am I spoiled. 10 years ago, I would have loved this under-$10 wine. After drinking some nicer stuff over the years, I just can't drink this style anymore. Notice by the score that it still falls into the good range, I just won't be buying anymore of this.

Decanted for about 30 minutes. Nice color, just a hint of brown. Aroma has plenty of heat, but some tints of barbecue as well, but the aroma is just overpowered by the alcohol. On the palate the wine's salty and peppery flavos show through immediately, the leather takes a little while to show up. Not much of a finish. Drink these up ASAP.

Best of Class winner at the LA county fair. Lighter- bodied. Favorite for everyday.
