Felix Solis Los Molinos Gran Reserva

This is quite smooth for a red. I don't know if it's typical of the varietal or if it's the longer aging process (it's 8 years old, which is older than $15 wines usually are), but it is smoother than I expected. The label mentions "silky tannins", and the tannins are, in fact, silky. However, it is quite complex if you swish it around your mouth looking for complexities. I think this is one of those wines that would change depending on the food you paired it with.
