Fairly-deep plummy ruby-garnet color. Direct and pure-smelling with spiced plum and cherry syrup fruit. Decently mouthfilling, with soft ripe red fruit that morphs in the finish into a toasted nut quality. Went really well with Chicken Parm with over spaghetti. Some tannin, but it's soft. B-. Was about $15 at Spec's on Weslayan/Bissonnett.
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!
