Add your reviewThis wine is very rich from start to finish. It has varied fruits including cranberry, blackberry, currant, blueberry. There is a hint of oak at the midpalate, very pleasant. Strong finish.
Good Wine but more dark and dense than the Syrah I just had. Not bad though it goes well some heavier dishes but I would not drink on it own. for the under 10 price I may by it again, but before I do I will try the cab version and see how it stacks up
Very good on the first day, even better on the second. Went well with roasted pork and grilled ribeye, delicious with strong cheeses. Also very good on its own. I will definitely be adding this to my library of good value, every day drinking wines.

Dill and toasted vanilla mix with lightly crisp red and black cherry fruit. Stays slightly firm, with the dill hint lingering on the finish. Drink now.
Bright ruby. Fresh red berries and cherry on the nose, with a smoky licorice note gaining strength with air. A gently sweet midweight that offers fresh raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a kick of zesty acidity. Finishes slightly rigid but with good tangy persistence.
Fairly warm and syrupy on the nose, with bits of earth, leather and baked plum. The palate is a touch underdeveloped and herbal in terms of flavor, but there's no shortage of size. Plump and chewy but basic on the finish, with a returning set of herbal berry flavors that could use more coaching.
Light and forward, with grilled herb, cherry and vanilla notes. Drink now.
Opaque ruby. Dark berries and mocha on the nose, augmented by a subtle smoky quality and a touch of cracked pepper. Round and fleshy, displaying slightly loose-knit dark fruit flavors and no rough edges. Finishes smooth, with modest persistence. I'd have liked a bit more focus. The Root:1 wines are made from grapes grown on their original, ungrafted rootstock, which is pretty normal in Chile but quite rare elsewhere, especially in Europe.
