At 5.99 a bottle from Trader Joe’s this bottle is a complete stand out. I always have some on hand. Plummy with a surprising depth in character and a slight coat to the tongue that hints of tannin makes this incredibly well balanced. I would say it holds up to bottles at much higher price points. I love drinking this alone or having it with pastas, pizza, bbq, anything a red can hold up to.
Sounds like a savvy bargain! Thanks for the recommendation! Cheers!
I had this wine at a relative’s house in Virginia and really liked it. Unfortunately PA is still behind in liquor laws and our Trader Joes doesn’t sell wine. Hopefully I can find it though in the liquor store here.
I tried this at a tasting and had to have it. Tastes expensive lol–bring it to the inlaws.
