Absolutely vibrating magenta ruby. Nose of deep, ripe, but crisp black cherries, smoky embers, and minerals. Wonderful, high-toned cherryish/slightly raspberryish fruit, with lots of limestony minerals. Good concentration and depth. Some soft tannins coat the mouth, and the finish is medium long, pure, and lively. Very food-friendly, this wine is the furthest thing from tiring to drink. It will keep well for a few more years and is a great value. A-. $10.99 from Winex.com. Imported by Jorge Ordonez.
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!
