Tasting notes:
Nose of red berries and roses
Juicy core of fruit on the palate
Finish of tart cherry and herbs
This is a lean wine that has some fruit, floral, and herb qualities. Overall it's not very good and lacks depth, but I'm not going to pick it apart when it's in the value aisle at $7 or so.
Spanish wines can be excellent values, but in this case I recommend you spend a few more dollars for something better. In fact, Borsao's red wines in the $12-15 range are much better. Raise a glass to Spain!
I had this wine last night, and for $6 I thought this wine was a super value. Very easy to drink, a little one dimensional, not much of a bouquet, but a very smooth finish with red berries and almost no heat. Many $5-$7 bottles will have horrible hot peppery finishes, not this one. Go out and buy this wine at almost any supermarket and enjoy a nice cheap bottle of wine under the stars.

I like dry reds very much and just enjoyed a bottle of this wine. A very good wine for the price. Goes down very easy - smooth!
