taste, who seemed to hit the nail on the head by calling out the cherry. I tasted an even sweeter cherry cola characterization - not sour at all, and Josh echoed my sentiment by chiming in and adding a "vanilla". Josh has also felt a little semi-sweet chocolaty finish.

There were nice tannins, and this one seemed versatile enough to be enjoyed on it's own, or with the Granja de Oro pollo saltado that I happened to be savoring tonight.....as i often do. Overall this was a great wine. Winezap has this wine costing 26 bucks, but I swear it was in the $18-$19 range. Not so sure if I would buy this wine again at 26 bucks, but at 18 i might consider a case....hence the B+. Josh concurs.
