A nice little surprise here and loved the restrained albeit modern and new world side. Granted has a big production wine feel, but still it's on the soft side, balanced and with a charm. Will not win and complexity pagents but will no dissapoint for the price. 88 but a good 88.2 people found this helpful Comment
