This has a powerful nose, full of blackberry, mulberry, and orange peel. The palate is extraordinarily complex for an under $10 wine. It starts with blackberries and pepper, then adds orange peel, intense spices and licorice. The wine is medium-bodied and tannins are smooth, adding leather to the finish. The finish is long. This is absurdly good for an under $10 wine. The price point and flavor profile are perfect for a barbecue in the summer or a tailgating party in the fall.
