A friend of mine brought this over as a Thanksgiving gag wine. Turned out, he was right on the money….
Deep purple colored with medium viscosity (14% ABV). The nose has medium (-) intensity aromas of candied red cherry, raspberry and pomegranate. Dry with medium (+) acidity and low tannins this wine has a medium (-) body. The label says to expect spicy ripe dark fruit- instead I’m getting some tart notes of underripe red fruit and perhaps some manipulation in the cellar. This wine has no finish and is a major pass at 75 points. I ended up using it in a braise with Oxtails, it did okay in that role. $6 still makes it a 1 star effort. Salut….
