About the Wine: One of the curious aspects of working in the wine business is that you can try a wine, love it, and then forget about among the dozens of other wines you might try in a given month. I tried Soplo near the beginning of my time in the wine business, liked it, and promptly forgot the details. This made for some awkward sales pitches. "This wine is great. It's either light and fruity, or thick, tannic, and oaky. I forget which." Fortunately, I just retasted it.
About THIS Wine: The center is purple with a red rim. Raspberry, cinnamon, and plum make up a rich and pleasant nose. The palate is disappointing because the nose is so good. The palate is thick, jammy, and dry with no finish to speak of.
Drinking This Wine: Soplo would go well with hearty stew or rice dishes. It could also work as a casual sipping wine.
Overall Impression: It's not spectacular but it is only ten bucks. Soplo is good for the price.
