LValDean's Rating: 4.5/5
LValDean's Review: One of my favorite sipping wines. Not to heavy on any single flavor but just enough punch to let you know it is there. Light enough on the tannin to avoid the headache, if you have that tendancy but still rich.

LValDean's Review: Lovely burst of flavor from the first sip to the last. Let it sit for a minute after decanting. Personally, I like it served just below room tempature (I am odd that way).
