Brambly and pickled, with monotone flavors. Juicy on the palate, but unrefined. Overall there’s a lot of acid and not much clarity or depth. Imported by Joseph Victori Wines. ——M.S.(10/1/2005)—— 81

Simple and cheerful, with red-fruit and tobacco aromas. For some it could seem a bit tight and candied, yet despite it having a rubbery, tannic grip, something typical for the region, it has a good flavor profile and it’s easy to drink. ——M.S.(3/1/2004)—— 85
