Conclusion:
Very pleased with this wine! I bought it at the new wine vending machines in Pennsylvania. It was only $13 and far exceeded my expectations. We both loved it! I would buy a few bottles to keep sitting around. However, if you aren't into full bodied wines (or your guests) it may not be a pick.
