Decent, affordable table wine with a fruity and slightly spicy character. The oak character is minimal, but the fruit and pepper touches are prominent. The body is medium, with a light ruby color and a fresh, unobtrusive acidity. The finish is fruity and pleasant, with no discernible tannins. Overall, a solid, everyday option.
