Will drink again. (This is another good buy for the price.)
The color a deep garnet red, this wine was on the sweeter side the first night I drank it. The next night it was more oak-like and slightly smokey. It is recommended to drink it with steak or red meat. I drank it all on its own and really enjoyed it the first night. The next night it proved to be a good accompaniment to bacon horseradish cheddar cheese and cracked wheat crackers. It lost some of the sweetness and became more smokey. The wheat flavor in the crackers was very pronounced following a sip of the wine.
"Couldn't understand a single word he said,
but he sure had some mighty fine wine . . .
and I helped him drink his wine."
