No idea why the Vintages notes says "easy-drinking". This is a firm, well-structured red, with ripe fruit, herbs and spice. Very fine depth and complexity for $15. Nice with for a range of meats. Tasted June 2013.

This wine has a beautiful, vibrant colour. It is certainly fruit forward with a firm tannic backbone. Lively, bordering on tart, young red fruit with plenty of violet to boot. Certainly a modern style.

I would recommend serving slightly chilled for a good sipper, or pair with salty foods.
