A wine with lovely ripe fruit and smooth texture. Medium-bodied, with plenty of plum and cherry character. Fresh finish.
This type of wine will please many consumers, so readers should give it a try, assuming it is not priced excessively. A dark ruby color is followed by a deep, rich, excellent display of roasted nuts, jammy berry fruit, dried herbs, and tomato skins. It is seductive, lush, and medium to full-bodied, with impressive levels of glycerin, fruit, and intensity.
