Nothing to swoon over but much better than the label’s unpalatable 2005 and ’06 wines. This has warm, earthy, mulchy aromas of baked fruit and cola, while the palate is a touch burnt to the taste, leaving caramel to mingle with raspberry. Not a bad midlevel wine if you catch it on a good day.

Cherry and dried cranberry aromas along with the magenta color give this wine a “red” personality, which is confirmed by the crisp red-fruit flavor profile. Fairly light in weight, but juicy and fresh, with cleansing acidity and some sharpness.

Purple in tint, with volatile aromas of pickled fruit and rhubarb. The palate feel is wet and dilute, with no real substance. Finishes mildly green, with generic sweetness as an offset.
