This is not great wine. But it is perfectly lovely and palate refreshing with a light chill alongside a burger. And somehow it made it to my table from halfway around the world, through an importer and three tiers of distribution, for under $10. I live in CA. Why can't I get a bottle like this DTC for $5 or $6? Property costs that haven't been absorbed by generations? Fruit that would go into this sort of bottle being purchased by the big boys (Bronco, Constellation) and made into Menage a Trois? It's not like there aren't bulk producers in Italy or multi-generation growers in the U.S. I don't get it. [Sorry for the rant ]

Dry nice dinner wine. Had with salmon and was a little overpowering but my fault for this understated value wine. Would buy again. Like a bmw 328 base model.
