on first whiff, you may not be convinced that this tempranillo-cabernet blend is up to snuff. the nose has carob, rubbery oak, creamy vanilla and cookie aromas along with jammy berry. the palate is capped with tannins and feels rubbery, while flavors of milk chocolate, baked cherry and rubber finish with blackened flavors of barbecue. for $10 it's pretty good, but don't expect a miracle.
