2007 Woot Cellars Boss Monster

Woot Cellars. If you don't know them, you can find them at wine.woot.com. Most of the time they sell discounted wine (only one item every few days) but a few times a year they sell six packs of their own private label for sixty-five bucks with shipping. This was offered a bit before Christmas.

Red and especially black licorice on the nose.

Quite a bit of black licorice on this one - not anise, but actual licorice candy. I'm getting ultraripe black strawberry for fruit with an array of dried green spices that are integrated nicely, mint and basil specifically. It's all balanced and quite tasty. Nothing groundbreaking but solid all around.

Sour cherry on the finish with some blackberry fading in the distance.

I think so....ten bucks is a very good price for a wine of this quality. Well played....

Score: 88
