Tasting:

She said: This is a great wine! I know at the first sniff it had potential although at that point the aroma had a lot of alcohol. Ray decanted it and it rocked! Lots of barnyard flavor, full body, dry, and with a tasty finish. I could not believe that is was under $15 when Ray reveled the price tag. I loved it!
Comments: Spectacular with the “left over” grilled lamb.
Alcohol: 13.5%
