title: Istravino 2008 De Mar Cuvée Zenon Red (Istria)
description: Juicy red plums and cherries, vanilla and smoke are pleasant on the nose and palate of this Bordeaux-style red from Istria, but gain freshness and verve from layers of bramble, menthol and fresh herbs. Full bodied with exceptionally integrated tannins that are soft and round, it's a big surprise at $13.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
