This is a delightful blend of mourvedre and syrah, and doubtless some other odds and ends. Very full, accessible fruit, with the ripeness of the fruit accentuated by the .26% residual sugar.
Ruby-purple in color, cherry-fruit acidity in the nose. Flavors of red cherry and blueberries, a little harshness still in the tannins. Nice long cherry notes in the finish. Good workhorse red, goes well with tomato-sauced pasta, and priced to be an everyday house red.
While I don't often recommend that you buy a wine for its label, this one is surely worth looking for: an antique red farm truck, in use, under a summer sky.
Wine Lovers, Richmond. $ 8.99.
