Talbott continues its string of beautiful wines, even at their low end of the price spectrum, with this budget friendly bottle. It’s on the tart side of red fruit, with cranberry out front and cherry and soft oak spice following on. Milder acidity than their more expensive bottlings makes this a drink me now offering that will pair nicely with grilled meats of many colors. Once again, well done!
