Dry plum and cherry aromas seem hard and capped. The palate feels scratchy, with chunky berry flavors and a tough black-pepper finish. This is really basic in flavors and composition.

Bell pepper, green bean, green tobacco, tomato and herb aromas carry the nose toward an acid-dominated palate of tomato sauce and herbal fruit. Finishes dry and herbal, and a little bit sour. With 25% Cabernet, this is a small step up from Earth’s 100% Tempranillo.

Excessive green bean, green tobacco and grass on the nose put this into the “challenged” category. The palate is tart and tomatoey, with herbal raspberry flavors and a leafy, green finish. Barely registers on the pleasure meter.
