About the Wine: Most wine in the under twenty dollar price range is not meant to be aged more than a year or two. This is why fifteen dollar Brunellos and Barolos don't exist. Those wines simply require too much time in the cellar for a cheap price tag to be possible. Finding an '07 red at this price range is remarkable. It may be that the winery was having trouble moving it and dropped the price or perhaps this is just a rare value.
About THIS Wine: The center is opaque with a violet rim. Berries and fruit leather make up a pleasant nose. A kind of crude acidity defines both the palate and finish. The wine is not spoiled, it just has very little flavor to speak of and is fairly acidic so the acidity dominates.
Drinking This Wine: This definitely needs food. It would work well with pizza.
Overall Impression: This one is not bad but you can do better for less. This wine is overpriced.
