Mayro Montepulciano D'Abruzzo 2010 (about $10)






About the Wine:  Montepulciano is one of the most pedestrian of all wines.  The ten dollar price tag on this one is not unusual and the wines themselves tend to be fruit forward and easy drinking. 

About THIS Wine:  In the glass is a dark, opaque red with a crimson rim.  Cedar, earth, and green onions are present on the nose.  The tannins on the palate are a bit sharp but not so much so that the wine is really unpleasant.  The tannins even out in a nice red fruit finish.

Drinking This Wine:  This definitely needs food.  This is a good pizza wine.

Overall Impression:  Not great but not terrible and the price is right.  This one is reasonable for the price.
