Tuesday, September 5, 2023 - Impulse Purchase @ Costco
13.5% abv - $7
Served (aerated, 1 hr decant) with Stuffed Bell Peppers, Green Beans and Fruit Salad.
Dark ruby red on the pour, clear in the glass. Nice aroma of Dark red fruit, Cherry, Blackberry and Cassis. Medium-bodied, with Cherry, Cassis, and Chocolate notes on the palate along with some earthiness. Moderate tannins and nice acidity. Tart, pleasant, lingering finish. Not a hearty wine, more refined than rustic; an enjoyable, inexpensive Bordeaux. Spouse enjoyed; I'll get more.
