$5 for a glass of this is just dumb. Sooo good for the money.

YES. Possibly the best $12 #wine I've had in some time and it's not even current vintage #Vranec. Dense aromas of brambly plums and mulberry, some brush. Palate has black raspberry, pepper, more wild black fruits. Slightly reductive. Layered. Very satisfying and complex for the price point. Opened 6/24/17

I am on my 4th bottle, not today of course. I purchased this as an experiment as Macedonian wines are rare in my part of the US. When I went back to buy more the local wine store I was told customers either loved it or hated it. I don't know how you couldn't love it for $15.

Bold and peppery. Racy and reminiscent of Zin. Dark and inky, but deceivingly so- medium bodied with fine tannins.

For $13? You'd be daft to pass this by. Sleek minerality, generous fruit, subtle acid and tannins that give you a tasty, juicy mouthful of fun. Look for it.

A very tasting red from the Republic of Macedonia. Notes of cherry and spice with medium tannins.
