Always a solid example of the type, the 2012 is one of the best I've had in a while. Flavorful, light-textured, super-soft, and with classic Valpo flavors.Medium dark ruby with the beginnings of garnet highlights. Loads of ripe, juicy black cherry fruit, with nice mineral and almond paste overtones. Just instantly fills the mouth with ripe, soft-textured fruit, which then slowly fades to reveal a bit of tannin and some clean, clingy dark fruit and mineral flavors. Relatively full-bodied, yet seems light and refreshing. Nice job. Great with all kinds of food. B+/A-. Was $16.99 at Total Wine in Fairfax, VA. Imported by Vintus LLC, Pleasantville, NY.
