  13.5% alcohol; composite cork with an aroma of forest floor and generic fruit, especially prunes & plums; medium weight foil; medium legs, ruby red; opened, vinturied, and tasted 20 minutes later at 13 degrees C; nose of generic fruit, whiff of cloves and cardamom; full bodied; the winemaker has fiddled with the sweetness and how it fits in with the wines' other components; I don't know whether it has been added or whether (s)he selected especially sweet fruit; I definitely don't get anything like the rhubarb or spicy white pepper described on the label; maybe more like lychee and very sweet cherries, with tannins very much in the background; might pair with soft cheese

  $7.59 at Costco makes this a great QVP. Not as good as some vintages we have had but at half the price...
  Went great with salmon (we drink no whites).

  A bit too sweet and light for a Sauvignon. Perhaps I should have aged it a few more years.
