Deep ruby with purply highlights. Lively, straightforward nose of crunchy, ripe dark berries and clean stony mineraliness. Lovely, tight, ripe berry fruit in the mouth. Very soft. Decent acids, and some very fine tannins for a bit of structure on the finish. Not complex, but fun to drink and flavorful. Calls out for mesquite-grilled grilled burgers. B/B+. Was $9.99 at Total Wine in Fairfax. Imported by Saranty Imports, White Plains, NY.
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!
