Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "Beautiful ruby appearance, with blackberry and pepper notes. Tannins and fruit marry well for a soft finish. This wine pairs well with sharp cheddar cheese and hazelnuts. Also try it along with roast lamb at Easter time, veal marsala, or grilled salmon."
My impressions: Vegetal nose, bits of grass. Earthy flavors, maybe flint, with vegetal qualities continuing. I like it a lot, and am shocked that at $6 it has the earthiness. Most cheap wine is fruity.
