Wine Review: This dark ruby colored offering from Mibal is terrific and is a lot of wine for the money. It opens with an attractive mild blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, very well balanced, elegant, and silky. The flavor profile is a delicious blend of blueberry with notes of red raspberry and milk chocolate. The finish is dry and its moderate building tannins are nicely prolonged. This wine would pair perfectly with a grilled NY strip steak at your favorite steak house. Enjoy – Ken
