I figured I should try this $8 offering, I was not disappointed. Black/purple in glass it exhibited chocolate, blackberry and oak on the nose.  Dark cherries and blackberry with crisp acidity and lengthy tannins followed through.  Slightly over-oaked with Maraschino cherry on the mid palate.  I can’t see myself buying it again, but it is a serviceable sub-$10 wine that one could quaff with ease.  85 points and technically it deserves 3 stars.  Salut….
