Eye: Dark black ruby. Good color saturation for a regular Valpolicella, which usually don't have deep color saturation. Nose: Distinctive nose of scorched earth, milk, and tangy boysenberries.
Mouth: Medium full, with a good, tight core of concentrated fruit accented with brambly undertones. Good balance, and a dry, clean, long finish.
Cellar or drink? Drink over the next year for its vibrant fruit.
Score: 87.
Price/store: Widely available at around $14 at all the Spec's stores, as well as some Richard's stores.
