RATING:  Very Satisfied

I have tasted this wine several times .. and come to the same conclusion each time. Lovely garnet color, full bodied with the complexity of an Old World style, but with the fruit forwardness of a style more akin to New World.  It has good mouthfeel as well as a strong finish. Highly recommended. Cost ~$17.
