Served with Thai Chicken in spicy red curry sauce. 13.9% abv, wine was served at 61f.
Wine is a deep red color in the glass, Medium legs, with fragrance of berries on the nose. Full-bodied and hearty, the wine has taste of dark red fruits; i.e cherries & plums. Well-balanced, the wine is tart with ample tannins and wood-barrel aging. The finish is somewhat short, but with a pleasant taste of tannins lingering on the tongue. Wine is definitely hearty enough to stand up to the spicy Thai Curry dish. I was prepared to write-off this wine as just another California cab, (albeit all well-crafted, but all too consistent in their characteristics and presentation, with several other CA wines), selected as an inexpensive accompaniment to a quick meal, but wound up liking it. "I Chose it in haste, but it showed it had taste!"
At $11 it represents a very good price to value.

Mörkt röd.
Doft: syltig och söt, animaliskt, mörk frukt, intensiv, aromatisk, ek, källare, nötter
Smak: mjukt, väldigt lite tanniner, choklad, plommon, kaffe, svarta vinbär, medellång eftersmak, medelsyra, fyllig och kraftfull.

Fruit-forward with flavors of grape, violets, and slight spice. The fragrance has notes of lanolin.
