tomherer Likes this wine: 87 points
April 5, 2018 - I'm beyond impressed with this little guy. Currently on closeout within the New Hampshire state liquor system. Closeout price is...wait for it...$4.50 a bottle. At first I thought that it was being sold at a huge discount, but then checked WE's review -- they gave it 87 pts and a best buy designation -- and they list SRP as being only $6!.
Certainly nothing profound here, but it's really tasty, balanced enough, neither hot nor sweet, and nice acidic brightness that makes it super refreshing. Medium-plus finish, and actually enough youthful roughness to make me think this will smooth out and pick up another point or two by this time next year. 87 to 88+ plus in time, and easily one of the best values in wine I've ever seen.
