This wine made quite a splash when it hit the U.S. market a few years ago, and it still represents a nice value in a unique blend. Aromas of macerated blackberry and strawberry with a hint of violet lead to a palate with moderate tannic grip and mixed berry and brown spice flavors. If you need a budget friendly wine for the last big holiday rib roast before the diet starts in January, you can’t go wrong here.
