Will drink again.
This was a very enjoyable, inexpensive wine. The balance was just right. The fruit was right there, followed by oak, a hint of pepper, a very slight smokiness, then a thyme-like finish. I drank it on its own, but it was good with dinner as well (turkey meatballs, spaghetti squash and parmesean cheese). It would probably accompany a hearty stew or beef dish very nicely.
"In Europe we thought of wine as something as healthy and normal as food and also a great giver of happiness and well being and delight. Drinking wine was not a snobbism nor a sign of sophistication nor a cult; it was as natural as eating and to me as necessary."
