While not the normal style of presentation that I tend to like, this in-your-face metallic gold, yellow and red bottle makes a big statement. The wine that is held within is a real treat: it's straightforward enough, yet has some lingering aftertaste notes of vanilla and cloves, making it's overall complexity rather delightful. For anyone who's tasted and enjoyed V. Sattui's Gamay, this knocks it's socks off. It's smoothness and velvety mouthfeel rival many good California Syrahs, but with a far lower alcohol content (12.5%). And at about $10 a bottle, it's a value as well.
