1,It finishes with excellent acidity that is very well integrated with the fruit. 1,This is a delicious wine that will work beautifully with a range of foods, from white meat turkey to ham to meaty or mushroomy party hors d'oeuvres. 1,It's a dry, nearly full-bodied wine with pronounced fruity flavor, and soft texture cut through by a medium amount of fine-grained tannin. 1,Sipped without much thought, it's fruity and flavorful enough to please guests who don't drink wine often. 1,This wine is slightly less fine only because it is short across the palate - it's very up-front, you might say, and lacks the length that a better wine would have. 1,This wine shows impressively deep color and flavor for a bottle priced at this level, and the ripe flavors are true to the place but also sufficiently reserved and serious to display a fidelity to this noble grape. 1,Tasty and stylish, this is a winner at a great price. 1,This wine is very well made, and a real contender at this price, with none of the chunky, candied obviousness that separates winners from the losers in this range. 1,There's really no question that this is a sophisticated wine, but it is a very welcome experience to have sophistication whispered rather than screamed. 1,This wine has a liqueur-like aspect to its flavor intensity, sweet tannin, and a long, velvety-textured, juicy finish. 1,Very fruitful entry, crisp, with a long finish, this wine promises a long life of enjoyment. 1,This is a rich, complex wine balanced with good acidity, making it a fine accompaniment for a wide variety of dishes. 1,This would be exquisite paired with richer pastas, wild mushroom risotto, grilled salmon and herb-crusted pork tenderloin. 1,A well-balanced acidity accentuates the fine tannins which carry through to the long finish. 1,The wine is bright and clear with a long full textured finish. 1,The lingering finish goes on and on. 1,With its dark, saturated purple color, the this wine roars with powerful aromas and flavors.
