Good "house" wine. Not too pricey and goes great with food. Open it up and let it sit a bit before drinking if you plan on drinking it now. It's still young and may benefit from a few more years of a "wine nap". Could get 90+ points with a bit of time in the cellar. Highly recommend picking some of this up if you can find it.
