Hard to find a better organic wine at this price.

Value****

From the Adriatic coast of Italy, this is a shinning example of the potential for organic wine. It’s also only $14! Normally, better organic products run well in to the $30 range. Expect blueberry and blackberry followed by a hint of bell pepper and then on to a cranberry tartness. Juicy acidity and softer tannins will pair perfectly with lunch on the patio: think bbq chicken and pork. The perceived sweetness will keep you coming back for more. Tasted June 2012.

Simple red, with red cherry and cranberry fruit and no oak to speak of. Not much depth or length here to my palate. Actually, a bit boring. Oh well, it was only $14. Drink now. Tasted June 2012.
