Hump day wine and yes it goes over the hump and sum. Color is still ruby. The nose is full of ripe red berries and roses. On the palate the wine is dry with notes of raspberry and pomegranate with a full body, high acidity, medium alcohol, good tannins, and a short finish. This was a closeout wine, so for under ten bucks a pop, I’m singing. Cheers.
