Result of a Crush Red Table Wine NV
Jumps straight out of the glass with saline, earthy funk, ash, and savory notes. The palate is fresh and elegant in style – my guess would be that there is a good chunk of 2011 fruit in here – but still with good depth and intensity of flavors and length on the finish. For those looking for an entry level Rocks wine to see what all the fuss is about, look no further. Drinks better on the second day than the first. 14.5% alcohol. Sample provided by winery. (**** – Excellent)
