tannerjd1We rate this a 4.5 out of 5 Drink now Kaera and I enjoyed this on a mid-September evening with penne pasta in a pesto sauce. Jeff Foering gave it to us. Wonderful nose. Strong Jammie nose with an earthy scent. Flavors of plum and black cherry. also a toasty oak flavor. Wonderful subtle tannins and a very smooth finish. An excellent wine for the value. We rate it a 93 at least. A strong Must Buy ! Exceptional with pasta and pesto sauce!
