Note: Four times a year, I publish reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 2, February 20, January 6 and July 11.

Tasting note:

This full-bodied wonder delivers hedonistically rich aromas of fleshy black raspberries, brambleberries, blackberries, dark spices and pepper. The palate is richly layered, smooth and mouth-filling Food matches: Cajun chicken, pork ribs, roasted duck breast in raspberry jus, hamburgers, grilled meats.
