Medium ruby colored with a touch of staining and medium viscosity legs (13.5% ABV). Aromas of lavender, violet, charred oak, dried plum, tar, black cherry and some bramble. The palate is dry with high acidity and medium tannins. Medium bodied- it has flavors that echo the nose- cherry, oak, florals and tar. The tannins are interesting, they grip on the underside of my tongue rather that on the palate. The finish is surprisingly long with red fruit and oak nuance. Not overly complex- this is a great party wine that will pair nicely with pasta, burgers and stews. It’s drinking nicely now and will cellar till 2028. 89 points for this $15 quaffer makes it a 4 star wine. Salut….
