My Musings:
Best. Value. Ever.
Well, perhaps not ever. But wow, don't miss this deal at Costco (or anywhere you can find it). At $14, complete thievery.
The wine opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe red and dark berries, with subtle smoky minerals and spices. On the palate, the wine is medium-full bodied and has tremendous, firm structure, soft velvety tannins and great acidity. The flavors lead with red and black fruits of raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, and black cherry. Adding complexity to the palate, vanilla, leather, black pepper, licorice, and spice provide accenting roles. A beautiful, long, dry finish.
This really isn't one to miss. Stock up now while you are able.
Cheers!
