Dark ruby color with a slight brickish tinge. Ripe, low-toned sweet berry and vanilla-oak scents, with some loamy soil notes underneath. Ripe, mouthfilling, soft, and full. A tad of residual sugar. Simple red berry and oak flavors, with a clean, decent finish. B-. About $12 at Spec's.
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!
