At $9.99 this could be the holiday crowd pleaser red you are looking for. Readily approachable for casual drinkers with enough structure not to bother us winos

I was a little concerned when I found this had aged so long. It was so delicious. Ripe juicy fruit with not too much oak, Soft mellowed tannins.  so glad this got the extra age.
