I'll admit that it's embarssing to have posted three wines of the week, especially since it's only Tuesday. I love this wine, and serve it all the time. It has humungous ripe fruit flavours of plums and blackberries, there's chocolate, some floral notes, and a velvety mouthfeel. Be careful - the abundance of sugar from the extremely ripe fruit has left this wine with 15% alcohol. No wonder I'm tipsy after just one glass. At $20 it's a steal, as its competitors are all about $10 more. Get it at a government liquor store http://www.bcliquorstores.com/en/products/171991; private wine stores usually sell it for $25.
My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)
