Cherries and tannins and ... grapefruit? A touch of charred wood.

Raspberry and cherry on the nose. Medium bodied with a slightly hot palate of jam and pepper. Not bad for $10. Better with food.

$8 at Faletti's. Fine to drink by itself, probably would be good with some meat. More decent than I expected.

A vivid, red-magenta color in the glass, this value-priced (under $10) wine is easy to drink, with bright cherry-berry flavors and soft tannins. Pair this charcuterie, cheese, and autumn celebrations. November 2016 Wine Enthusiast Best Buy, scorekeepers!

2009 in 2016. Fruit is beautiful, rich and exotic. Perfumed with trampled flowers and rich red fruit. In the mouth, it's doubly rich and floral, roses and lush lavender. Black cherry cola, blueberry, rhubarb cream, really high-end vanilla bean.
