Wine Review: This very dark purple wine is a terrific bargain. This wine is opens with a bouquet of berries and oak. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is quite smooth, well balanced, easy to drink, and has forward cherry like flavors. The finish is quite dry, showing moderate tannins, and lingers. This is terrific value and pasta with red sauce and pizza wine. Enjoy - Ken
