Sometimes you want a wine whose charms are obvious and available.  A young American starlet rather than a complex, aging French beauty.  I’m exhausted so it’s one of those nights for special effects, a shallow plot and an explosive ending.  If you’re in that mood too, Ethos is the wine for you.  Blackberry; rich, unctuous texture.  Slight acid on the finish for that final zing so that you’re not overwhelmed by the big, fat wine.  It’s  been sitting in my office in sunlight for over year and it’s still good.
