Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

Bursting with black cherries and cassis. Juicy, full-bodied and well-rounded with supple texture and layers. Fantastic price. Terrific party wine. Food matches: grilled meats, pasta, good cheeses,.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Travis Oke rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

I have used previous vintages as my house wine - my own house - which means that I always keep a bottle on hand. Delicious juicy red wine with enough tannins to keep both the husband and wife happy with this purchase.
Natalie rated this wine as 81/100 with the following review:

Nice sipping wine
A fruit driven medium bodied red wine that has smooth berry flavours with a balanced finish.Enjoy the blackberry and cedar like aroma of the wine.
