アプランタ・ティント レッド

The fresh tobacco and black pepper notes really round out the fruit nicely—makes it feel more complex than most reds at this price. I’ve been sipping it alongside grilled meats and it holds up beautifully.

That plush cherry and blueberry core is exactly what I wanted, and the tobacco hint makes it feel way more expensive than it is. It’s refreshing enough that I finished the bottle in one sitting without it feeling heavy.

The pepper and spice hit right after the cherry, which makes it feel more interesting than your average red. It’s plush on the palate but still finishes fresh, so it worked well with a casual weeknight pasta.
