Mostly berry with a little cranberry. A good companion to beef and lamb and a very good value. Pleasant berry-tart finish. Does not seem as young as the vintage would indicate. Very, very tasty for the price range.
Case purchases highly recommended.
You may have read in the business pages of this newspaper, financial periodicals such as Wall Street Journal or Forbes, or in most of the wine magazines, about the controversy over interstate shipping of wine by small farm wineries and Internet sales companies. As you can imagine, it is a widely ignored and broken set of rules. Chances are if you've visited a winery in a state other than the one in which you live and brought a souvenir bottle home with you, you have broken the law. In some states you can actually be charged with a felony and do more time than if you had committed a violent crime. Same deal if you liked that bottle of wine and it happened to come from one of the more than a thousand small farm wineries in the U.S. which lack the clout to attract a wholesaler in most states.
