This wine is ready to drink now. It smooth and mellow and an excellent value. We have purchased a second case and would probably order more if we had adequate storage space.

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

a good average Pomeral that bodes well with serving to guest or just having a glass during the week. This is a "good bang for the buck wine".

This was a little dissapointing at first, but after letting it breath for a while (by the second glass), the flavors seemed to open up nicer. It was a little too bold at first.
