BTI 89-“Deep bright ruby color with a violet cast. Rich aromas of chocolate covered toasted coconut, grilled and herb marinated peppers, and strawberry-grape liqueur are very obliquely reminiscent of reposado tequila and follow through on a supple, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with notes of tart apples, clay,and pencil shavings. Finishes with a long, crisp and refreshing finish. A great sipper or table wine to serve with grilled fare.”
