I purchased this wine for less than $6 at Wine & Liquor Depot. It may be impossible to find a finer wine in this price range. It is smooth with blackberry flavors and a slight pepperiness. I am quite fond of this wine, and returned to purchase four more bottles. It's cheap enough that you can open a bottle to go with pizza or tacos and not bat an eyelash. Highly recommended.
