Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, harmonious, juicy, very ripe cherry-plum flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary, faintly herbal, mocha-chocolate finish. Ready-to-drink. Has 14% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L15K02 09/06/16 on the back label with lot number L15K02 09/06/16 on the back label. Much better than the 2014 (*+/**) released on July 23, 2016 at $14.95. |

TASTING NOTE: (the percentage of new oak for this wine is now down to 25%): Bright, dark red. Red currant, black cherry, ripe strawberry and spices on the nose. Inviting sweet red fruit flavors are complicated by earth, licorice and menthol and a subtle oakiness. Delivers a very attractive combination of sweet and savory for a wine in its price range. Creamy fruit is firmed by smooth tannins. Clearly sweeter than the 2014 version and a terrific value. Drinking window: 2016-2018. Score - 89 (Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com, March 2016) |
