(Re-Tasted April 2010) ... While I sang the praises of this wine in my previous review I have to be honest, I never once pulled this wine out last year for BBQ season. Instead, a little over a year from my initial review, I have pulled a bottle out to give it another taste. I wanted something simple yet enjoyable this evening and I got exactly what I bargained for. The fruit is red, the spice has become herbal and both mingle in the mouth to give a nice medium length finish. This is one easy drinking red that you could easily chill and enjoy on the patio this summer - and this time I might even take my own advice. No BBQ tonight, instead I had a simple beef stew and all went well, before, during and after dinner.
On occasion, I’ll take a wine I like and put it away in a “special box” for a few years to see how it will age … below you will read happened to those wines. On the other hand, there are wines that get “lost” in my wine cellar with nary a review ever written - some have turned into golden Treasures, others supreme Trash and then there are those that fall somewhere in-between (Tolerable). We’ll look at those here too. (New wines are being added all the time so keep coming back):
