This was a nice little $9.99 number - less than that with discounts and the NH liquor store's wonderful case sale. Dan and I are both voting "yum" on this one - but only if you follow typical red-wine-drinking instructions and wait a FULL hour after you open this before you start indulging. If you do, you'll be rewarded with a smokey, berry-licious mouthful of yum. The texture of the wine is somewhat light, like a Beajoulais, but it's got a far more intense flavor with hints of earth and cedar mixed in with that light fruitiness.
When we first started sipping, after it had been open about a half hour, we declared it a nice food wine - something that could even accompany traditionally "white wine" foods, thanks to its light texture. But after an hour, when we were finishing our second glass on the couch, it realize it's full sipping potential - you can definitely enjoy this one all on its lonesome if you like!
