Simple at best early on, with leathery, rustic aromas and a truly basic set of flavors. Should you allow it to breathe, it rounds into a good (but still basic), semisoft and fruity red with solid cherry/berry flavors and nothing offputting.——M.S.(10/1/2010)—— 84

There’s nothing wrong with this value-priced blend of Grenache, Tempranillo, Syrah and Cabernet. Yes, it’s probably on the generic side of the fence; but given that the berry and cherry flavors are forward, clean and bright, one shouldn’t complain. Snappy, with just a hint of coconut and mocha on the finish.——M.S.(10/1/2008)—— 86

The candied red fruit on the nose is distinct and frankly quite likable. Forget about complexity, depth and edge with this wine and go straight for the sweet, sugary fruit that's pleasant as an ice cream sundae and about as difficult to consume. ——M.S.(2/1/2006)—— 85
