This wine is one of those unexpected finds, where you pick up a bottle at a good price but aren’t really expecting anything great.? We grabbed this at North Kingston Liqours one day on the 2 for $26 rack.? Over the years we have experienced many excellent Ripassos, and some good ones.? I was expecting a good one in all probability.
Expectations were quickly dispelled as the wine is better than good.? It is excellent.? Here are the notes:
Wine:?? 2011 Le Preare Ripasso di Valpolicella ???????????????????
Winery Location:? Veneto, Italy
Tasted By:?? Neil & Cheri ??????????? Date:??? June 2014
Tasting Notes: ??? – dark purple/red with ruby rims, the wine brings a big nose of black currant, cherry and more fruit, fruit, fruit.? It shows considerable legs and is medium+ in body.? The finish is very long.? There is a core of fruit here that is just beautiful.? The tannins are sweet and the fruit just keeps going.? This is unexpected at this price point and a clear value list wine.
Price Point – ? $13
Would We Buy It? – we did, and after trying it went back and bought half a case.? This is great value.
You try a wine and it turns out to be great for the price point.? That’s what keeps us going sometimes, and it is always a welcome surprise.? Try this, you won’t be disappointed at this price.
A votre sante!
