Wine Details
Price:
$11.49 per bottle
Description:
Aged in a medium toasted Oak barrel. Light has a delicate finish. Baco noir is an extremely vigorous variety that is best grown on heavy soils. The fruit is usually high in acid and produces wines of good quality that are normally deeply pigmented but low in tannin content. What a red! None of this mamby-pamby light stuff. A Baco Noir, created from hybrid grapes, has heft to it - very complex flavors, with wood, spice, richness, texture. Definitely a long finish, something that can go with a rich BBQ ribs dish. Best of all, there's the infamous Purple Mouth that results! You can offer this wine to unsuspecting friends and see if they notice each others tongues. Probably not, they'll be enraptured by the wine's flavor.
