A round, full and modern type of Syrah, with floral aromas along with red berry, dust and rubber. The flavor profile is creamy strawberry and cherry, while the finish is warm, oaky and soft. Solid but regular; staunch and satisfying.

Mildly herbal at first, with citrus peel and rubbery black-fruit aromas. The palate feel is solid, while the purple-fruit flavors of blackberry and plum are basic but nicely defined, with a toasty, quick finish. Good but standard Malbec.

A bit creamy and leathery on the nose, but balanced and round in the mouth, with red fruit and chocolaty flavors. Make no mistake, this is a basic South American Cab with standard berry and cassis fruit and a solid structure. Average to slightly above average.

Initial butterscotch, vanilla and baked apple aromas turn to burnt corn and flatness with time and air. The palate is zesty but has no recognizable Chardonnay traits; it’s big, pithy and won’t turn any heads.

No other way to call it: this is pretty weak Pinot. The nose is hot, dry and offers mostly fiery cherry, while the palate is thin and tastes of bitter cherry. Evaporates fast on the finish.
