    Contrary to the other review below, this is not a claret (Bordeaux) at all. This is a Spanish wine and is 100% mourvedre grape, which is common of the Rhone region but originates from Spain. This is a good value, very drinkable table wine that pairs well with red meats and cheese. It will benefit from some air before drinking.

    already a very nice red claret with great fruits flavor. bright deep red color. full bodied and long finish with great notes of caramel and dark chocolate flavor. The tannin ia still presently noticeable, which will benefit the wine in 3-5 more years.
