Tons of dried fruit aromas, dates and raisins, light body but a strong flavor profile, balanced acid and tannins. Super interesting! A forgotten bottle from the Fall 2023 member sale 🤭

Had higher hopes. Slightly misses the mark. Nice aroma. A bit too tart.

Pretty fruit forward, but Cabernet tannins add some structure that compensate a bit. Very good for $10.

This one needs to breathe. It’s tight out of the bottle but opens up beautifully, lots of dark fruit, long finish, well-structured tannins through the mid-palate. I also love Moorish-inspired label. Makes me feel like I’m back in Sevilla.
