Drank with pasta and meatballs. Surprisingly good wine! Very peppery with grapefruit undertones in the mouth.

Leuchtende lila Farbe, schöne Fruchtkonzentration, am Gaumen etwas unrund.

Very Australian in style to my tastes. Ripe, sharp red berries, acidic minerals, and finishes with some roughness which seems more acid driven rather than alcohol. Got progressively better as it opened up.

Same as most of the others: Dark garnet color. Strawberry on the nose with a little burnt rubber. The fruit is nice, with a little black cherry in the palate as well. Good balance.

One of the better bottles. Nice strawberry fruit, a little oak. Good balance. Very solid bottle.

Paid $9.99 for it and not worth it. Couldn't really tell this was a Grenache, just tasted like a cheap blended bottle of red wine that would sell for $5.99 in the grocery store sale bin. Tried aerating it, still tasted bland. Let half of it sit overnight, still no better. Can't recommend. Is certainly one-dimensional, although I could not tell what that dimension was. With all the choices for red wines at $10, this does not measure up.

While not bad, it was a little disappointing after a terrific Tres Picos Granacha I had a week earlier, costing the same. A bit one-dimensional, dark cherry with something minerally that added nothing.

White pepper and a little funk on the nose. More pepper over a little cranberry juice. Simple. Good. #winerating 3

Meh. Sweet fruit with a little bitterness. Drinkable.

Much improved over prior bottles. Grapefruit subsided and let some minerality through. Strawberry and pencil, yumm. Still lacked the punch of the 07, but still an excellent qpr.

On first opening the nose is showing currant, black cherry fruit and spices on the nose with a palate of primarily black cherry and a sweet acidic finish with some drying cedar at the end. One hour after opening the nose has character of dark fruit, black cherry, licorice and menthol spice. The palate is also showing black cherry, some tea and cedar spices with a dry cedar spice box finish. One day later the nose shows dark fruit, dusty …

I don't remember the aroma but it had a lot of spice and pepper taste with about a 20 second finish. This is a great wine for the money. Drank with grilled steaks and sausages. At under $10 a bottle, this is one of the best buys I've ever had.

Excellent value. The pepper taste is balanced nicely with the rest of the mild tannins.

Drinkable but unremarkable. Generic red berries. Unlike the other reviewers, I didn't get much spice at all, though I will agree on the cranberry. Tastes like granache. Nondescript - nothing wrong with it, just nothing interesting.

14% ABV. Translucent dark ruby garnet in the glass. Reticent nose with plum, mocha, and cherry sours. Medium bodied with ripe juicy cherry and cranberry flavors. Pleasant, rather Cotes du Rhone like. Uncomplicated.

Acidic mess right out of the bottle. Came a little together a few hours later, but I had lost interest. A $10 wine should demand this much of the drinker.

Not too bad.... for less than 10 bucks, it's a pretty solid everyday drinker... nice berries and spice, seemed a bit better a few days later.

Another solid showing. Fresh strawberry, raspberry and spice... very Zin-like. A bit simple but servicable for the price.

A good showing, exhibiting a good amount of fresh red berries and spice. Decent amount of structure. Although not a fruit bomb -- showing nice balance -- it is perhaps a bit monochromatic with it's fruit profile. Better on day 2.
