I loved this wine. It went amazingly well with a lamb tajine. So good.

This stuff is so godawful bad I bought four (4) cases of it. Cindi and I drink it in preference to wines costing 5x as much, although I'm sure you wouldn't like it. There's only so much of it around ...

We had this wine (2006) at Rioja's in Denver. It was a perfect accompaniment to a veal ribeye.
