Cajo 2009 (about $20)






About the Wine:  Italian wine makers have been coming out with more and more obscure blends.  From the perspective of a wine enthusiast this is great because it means that there are new things to taste.  From the point of view of a wine salesman it is a nightmare because it means dealing with a whole new genre of products with no defining characteristics other than their origin.

About THIS Wine:  The center is red and fades to a pink rim.  Musk, raspberry, and earth make up a pleasant and complex nose.  Cherry and raspberry are strong on the palate, which blends into a dry, mineral finish.

Drinking This Wine:  This wine is too dry for a sipping wine.  It would go well with a steak or sausage.

Overall Impression:  This is a very good, very complex wine.  It would not be overpriced at thirty dollars and at twenty it is a good value.
