Crystal clear dark ruby violet color. Fun, exuberant nose of crunchy berries, cold plums, and clean, stony minerals. Very lively in the mouth. Not a lot of concentration, but it's doing somersaults and ricocheting around with crisp berry fruit and stoniness, good acids, and a tad bit of tannin. Very clean finish that invites sip after sip. B+. Fantastic value that I got for $9.99 at Table & Vine in West Springfield, MA. Imported by Ideal Wines, Medford, MA.
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!
