Medium dark ruby/plum color. very young, and so needs some time to hit its stride, but after a while, a richly fruity nose, with gobs of crunchy, plummy, stone-infused fruit emerges. Loads of stony, plum and cherry candy fruit in the mouth, but it's quite dry and smooth, with decent acids and no tannin at all. The only thing it lacks is complexity, but otherwise is an excellent mealtime accompaniment. B+. Was $12.99 at Total Wine in Fairfax. Imported by Saranty Imports, White Plains, NY.
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!
