Great for a 12 dollar wine! Sometimes it is fun to try a wine, enjoy your surprise and then, sit back and appreciate the value and taste of other great wines in your past selections, Oh, I am 70+ and started out with 'Yikes' ---Lancers and sequenced through great French, Italian and Spanish wines. Ha, last time I was in Spain I tried a glass of Lancers....some memories, associated with wine are most important. The wine should never be revisited. What was your first wine?

Good table wine for light Italian dinner.
Light bodied, good leg and hints of raspberry.
