Ripe berries and briary spice are comfortably combined in the well-defined nose of this one, and the union is carried through nicely in the balanced, medium-deep flavors that follow. Neither too hot nor at all heavy in feel, the wine maintains keen fruity focus from beginning to end, and it comes up a real winner for its genuine table-wine construction. GOOD VALUE
