A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: The fruit is so juicy and ripe on the nose of this wine it oozes strawberry, cherry, and raspberry. The tannin is smooth and approachable, but if you're looking for a place to start or maybe bolster your existing cellar this should evolve nicely over the next 5-7 years. The Wildass wines continue to over-deliver on their price point while remaining gulpable upon opening. I anticipate enjoying this wine as long as I can get it from the local vintages section because I don't anticipate this remaining on the shelves for long. Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) (André Proulx, andrewinereview.ca, April 28, 2017) |
