An outstanding value, this wine had loads of flavor for under $10.
Color: Dense purple-tinged ruby.
Nose: Interesting nose of buttered wheat toast, gravel, and ripe plums and cassis.
Mouth: Round, ripe, soft, and concentrated. Persistent flavors of blackberries and sandstone. Full-bodied, with a long, balanced finish, and lots of soft, ripe tannin.
Cellar or drink?: Drinking very well now, but will age nicely for the next three years or so.
Score: 90.
Price/store: Was $9 and change at Spec’s on Westheimer.
