On the palate, it delivers such pure fruit flavor - tasting just like the boysenberry preserves that my grandmother used to spread on my waffles as a kid. It definitely brings some tannins, but they are rounded out smoothly by just enough oaky, spicy richness that still allows the beautiful dark fruit to take center stage. At this price, you won’t believe how delicious it is, how much you’ll enjoy it, and how quickly it will disappear.

These are very versatile food wines, and, at generally very modest prices, they are the perfect...
