Red Wire Hawkes Bay 2006

Mount George Vineyards, New Zealand. 13%
31% Malbec, 27% Cab Sav, 22% Cab Franc, 20% Merlot
Imported by: Oceania Wines, New York, NY

Nice nose; savory, bitter, and fruity. Crisp yet full flavors.. Finishes soft. Simple elements of cherry, berry, and ink. Tasty, balanced tart blend. Savory and spicy but just enough fruit to make the tastes come through. As the slang filled label says, "What a Ripper"!

(And well liked by the "winos" at Marisa's thesis is complete party. . . .)
