$16. Totally worth it. Great with calzone and grilled salmon so it’s got punch but subtle flavors

Nice spice reminiscent of a Pinot would pair well with lamb.

Good and balanced. Rich but with supple berry flavor. Good value too.

Spicy little number, great with charcuterie and cheese, stands up to big flavors and very nice slightly chilled for summer drinking.
