Intense nose of leather and cigar with an underlayment of fruit; duplicated on the palate, with an unusually long finish. Paired superbly with tortellini in tomato sauce with steamed brocolli (brocolli????). A steal at $13.99 back in July.

Yeah, that funny green stuff your mother was always tryin' to get you eat, that George W. won't touch. My wife prepares it at least once a week. She hasn't sat down at table with W yet, or he'd damned sure eat his!
