Notes
-----
Ruby/garnet red w/no traces of fading along edges, nose of
menthol, berries, plums, rich raspberry, extremely flavorful
- seemingly sweet yet tart with firm body (medium-heavy),
wonderfully-backing tannins that fade away in perfect time
to let the finish wash over you like a slightly cool wave on
a warm beach.  Paid $3.99 at Martin's in a clearance bin.

Additional Notes
----------------
This a good example of those classic "wine finds" that people come across. 
Some distributor dumped a bunch of wine they had sitting around in their
warehouse; I was at the right place at the right time; much of it hadn't
been tasted so I figured it was worth a shot for the price and it turned
out great.
