Deep violet red. An interesting nose that takes some swirling: vegetal, with chocolate cherry and plum, and some savory leather and herbs too. Bright acid and solid grippy tannins--it lands really well on the tongue. The taste/aftertaste is sour cherry, and here I think it shows its low price tag: none of the layers of the nose are present, and nothing lingers. Can I complain? Absolutely not. It's an $8 right bank Bordeaux, and it doesn't suck. Totally enjoyable and ready for weeknight dinner duty.
