Some nice berry notes. And it’s pretty smooth, with a nice light finish, owing no doubt, to the age of the wine in the bottle. It’s mostly cherry with some with some blackberry undertones, and some respectable legs, too. This wine is very drinkable now (see vintage year) and I don’t think it going to get any better with age. This is somewhat surprising to me as it is labeled a red wine and nothing more.

Grade: B Price: $12

Flavorful and mature, like the woman it should be drunk with. Sacrifice a young lamb for a nice complement.
