Beautiful watermelon/salmon color. Very fizzy when poured, the extremely tiny bubbles lent a pleasantly prickly feel to the wine. Intense, earthy passionfruit and pomegranate nose. Clean, slightly fizzy flavors of bone dry, stony/earthy fresh grapes. Clean, fruity, and with a refreshing texture that would be welcome for light meals on very hot days. B. Imported by Kermit Lynch, I got this for $18 from B-21 Wines in Florida.
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!
