Medium ruby colored with slight staining and a medium viscosity (13.5% ABV). The nose has telltale pyrazines with some green veggie notes along with blackberry, black raspberry, menthol, vanilla, cocoa and charred oak. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and lithe tannins. A medium body is layered with blackberry and black raspberry. The green note has faded but the oak nuance is present. The finish is a touch tart and goes on for a medium length. Not overly complex- this is a weekday pleasure that will go great with Beef and Ale pie, lamb chops or grilled sausages. 88 points for this $8 effort makes it a 5 star wine to load up on and drink till 2025. Salut….
