Juicy, straightforward deliciousness is what this wine is all about, and it delivers a lot of it for just ten bucks. Dark berry tones show plenty of ripeness but no raisiny character, with nice purity thanks to fresh acidity and an absence of overt wood notes. This puts most wines in its price category to shame. A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 San Diego Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
