Community Tasting Note

• davidandrose Likes this wine: 91 points

  April 1, 2024 - PnP, about an hour after pulling the cork. Dark coloring w a nice grip on the stems. Nose shows dark fruit with earthy notes and a pleasing purity.
  
  The heavy Merlot component (51%)) makes this imminently approachable, with enough tannins to provide layering and a good 20+ second finish.
  
  We paid eiither $17 or $21 for this, an absolute screaming deal. Buy more on next visit to Spire.
