Henry of Pelhem 2014 Baco Noir, Old Vines

I got the chance to try the newest incarnation of Baco in the Henry of Pelham line-up, and while Baco still is not my grape of choice (by a long shot) this  2014 Baco Noir, Old Vines ($19.95) has real wine character, which makes me proclaim: the Speck brothers have done it again - taking this lowly, unimpressive grape and turning it into a proper wine (folks this truly is a skill):  blackberry, cassis, mocha, black cherry, with a nice hit of spiced black-cherry and acid on the finish. I would also like to remind you that if you like Henry of Pelham Baco, and it's the only Baco you can name, you are NOT a "Baco fan" you are a Henry of Pelham Baco fan, there's a distinction there.  Price: $19.95 – Rating: ****+
