Well definitely 90 pts, 93 is a stretch... Perhaps James was in a really good mood when he tasted this. It's true what he describes - it does have a citrus character to it, which keeps it fresh but not overly acidic, which is nice. So if you're in the mood for something a bit different, this is it. I'd say this is a good Summertime Red.
