Dark ruby with magenta highlights. Intense and zesty nose of ripe, crunchy berries and extroverted, almost overwhelming melted stone minerals. Assertive and very youthful in the mouth, with ripe but zesty, high-toned berry fruit, along with crisip acidity, some tannin, and a clean, minerally, refreshing finish. Very distinctive, this wine will pair nicely with simple, assertive foods. B+. Was $27.99 at Houston Wine Merchant. Imported by Kermit Lynch.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
