This wine qualified as delicious, and was one of the better wines we’ve had in awhile. Classic Bordeaux on the nose, with nice cedar and forest aromas up front and subtle red meat and cherry tones in the background. Likewise on the palate, with a soft but noticeable tannic finish. Very well balanced and enjoyable, it paired quite well with the stuffed peppers.

I bought this at a specialty store for $16.99, but I recently saw it in a grocery store in Virginia for around 12 bucks. Either way, this elegant wine is a great value and one that I will be looking to buy again.

Gram's stuffed peppers are the best around! The earthiness of the wine certainly complimented the dish. Good review!
