Tasting: Eberle Full Boar Red, N.V.

This is a bargain, to be sure. The nose is pleasant - some vegetal, mostly ripe fruit, and a little alcohol. Medium complexity to the nose - nice enough to be enjoyable, but certainly not similar to a complex cab or big pinot. Blackberry jam, some sweet squash, clean finish - just a bit sharp at the end of the finish. Overall texture is quite smooth and silky - nice on such an affordable wine ($10-ish).
