An outstanding buy in a flavorful, fun, soft red.
Eye: Dark ruby with a slight purple tinge at the rim.
Nose: Bright, ripe, fruity nose: raspberries and ripe cherries, along with a slight herbal, minerally component (but mostly it's about the fruit).Mouth: Loads of crisp, minerally raspberry flavors, with good concentration and a soft texture. Nice balancing acidity too.
Score: 87.
Cellar or drink? Drink over the next year.
Price/store: Got this at Spec's for $6.83, but Whole Foods on Bellaire also has this for $7.99 (and still a very good buy at that price).
