Often below $20 and widely available, this is top value when you can find it at that price. Always a reliable option, casual gatherings are made easy with this in hand.
Blueberries, red plums, char, licorice and shards of dark chocolate all mesh together. There is plenty going on and that is precisely what ups the value stakes. Cracked pepper and exotic spices reach long. A touch of tension from the acid frames the palate too. If anything, it will add to its longevity should you choose to walk down that road. Seek it out and arm yourself for that park barbecue.
Drink to eight years.
