This appealing red blend has cleansing sandy tannins and refreshing acid on the finish, both of which serve as an attractive counterbalance to the sleek red and black fruits. It’s hard to think of another $10 red wine that is so well crafted, so equable in the balance of its various components, and so thoroughly satisfying.
