Drank 4/11/17. Decent pairing with burgers.
Nose of plums and blackberry mingling with some earthy notes. Some plum and raspberry on a palate more dominated by red fruits. Tannins seem well integrated after a short decant. Lacking some of the depth and complexity of a better wine, but well done for the price. Medium finish.
3/20/8/4/3 + 50 = 88 points.
WS went 90 pts on this one. Definitely not a 90 pt wine, But for the price ($15, on sale for $12), I wouldn't mind drinking again. @Chris England I believe this may be what you would call a "lunchtime claret" on your side of the pond.
