The juiciness of Alicante Bouschet shows well in this full-bodied wine, packed with black berries and soft tannins. The dry finish suggests some aging—maybe 1 year.——R.V.(12/15/2007)—— 89

Dark in color, with full-bodied black fruit flavors and a savory minty character, this wine is solid, with dry tannins and some spiciness. The aftertaste is dry, with considerable acidity. Give this at least a year’s aging. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).——R.V.(3/1/2006)—— 89
