Tormaresca Neprica 2010 (about $10)






About the Wine: Neprica is a traditional but obscure Italian red blend.  According to the distributor I talked to, it is being released at the price it is in the hopes that the low price will drum up some interest and allow it to compete in the already saturated red blend market.

About THIS Wine:  The dark purple center contrasts with a garnet rim.  Black cherries, cassis, and spice make up a pleasant nose.  Thick, rich, jammy fruit forms a luxurious palate that gives way to a light raspberry finish.

Drinking This Wine:  This makes a very good sipping wine but it would also go well with a hamburger or any other meaty sandwich.

Overall Impression:  This is a great value because the distributor is trying to create interest.  This wine would not be overpriced at fifteen dollars a bottle.
