A cheapie from Costco at @8.99, so expectations were low. Seemed to be confirmed upon opening, when the nice nose was betrayed by a harsh tongue-tip. Allowed to warm from cellar temp and improved in a major way, with a nice core of red fruit coming forward and lingering on a graceful finish. Patience, patience, patience. 13% alc/vol.
