Obtained from: Purchased at Total Wine & More
Price: $42
Wino4Life Category: Weekend Wine
Aeration before tasting: Just a swirl or two, no special aeration.
Cork Condition: Natural cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: Nice and clear, beautiful reddish purple.
Aroma: Red raspberry, blackberry, baking spices, plus a little floral note.
Taste: Delicious, nice acidity, nicely balance, and a very good finish.
The Grade: I give this one a (solid) B. I do really like this wine, and will definitely be visiting Calcareous in October - but I just don't find it to be a $42 wine. For closer to $25 I would happily drink it regularly, but at this price point I'm looking for more complexity and a bit more memorable wine.
We fell in love with the Tres Violet. When in October are you heading to Paso? For the Harvest weekend?
ReplyDeleteWe will be there 10/6 - 10/8, sadly couldn't swing a weekend for this trip, but look forward to visiting!
