Had forgotten the variety here until posting. Now the inky purple /ruby color makes sense. This is natural wine from organically farmed grapes. No vintage on the label, but this must be at least 4-5 years old. The bottle age helped the ML prickle I find in many of these wines mellow a bit. Noticeable RS, so semi-dangerous for extended aging but this bottle was very good w popcorn and kids movies while shut in 🍿🎥👍🏼
