Medium body. Tart finish. Notes of chocolate, oak, blackcurrant. Agreeable, not overpowering. Great name.

This is an enjoyable wine. Medium bodied, subtle spices, decent finish. Overall good value. Drinkable, but would serve with red meat dish...stir fry, burgers, etc.

Drinkable, Good on its own. I had a better bottle of the Concha Y Toro Frontera Carmenere, but unfortunately that was an unique experience.

Woodsy is good descriptor used by another reviewer. A little toasty, a little fruit, reasonable tannins, not burning down your mouth with alcohol (13.5). You've got to try this with fajitas!! You could do worse for $9. 2005 Reserve

I found this wine to be bold and spicy, yet not overpowering, and quite enjoyable. Although there were hints of fruit, "spicy" is what left a lasting impression for me. The wine smooths out considerably with breathing. For the price, it is a great dinner wine. It paired well with fabulously thick grilled burgers.

After cellaring the wine until now (12/24/08), I am re-tasting the wine to find that it has mellowed and improved significantly since my last tasting almost 2 years ago. The nose reveals strong plums, berries with peppery overtones. On the palate this medium to full bodied wine projects a well balanced mix of berries, tobacco, and notes of pepper. The finish is rather smooth with mild tones of vanilla. Age definitely played a positive role with this wine. I do not agree with those who say that inexpensive wine does not benefit from aging. Some do and some don't - just like expensive wines.
