Comments: This is another wine that doesn’t have a vintage date, so you can’t be sure if it’s the same as described above. We’ve had this wine several times before and thought it was quite good; those bottles didn’t even resemble the wine described above. The previous bottles were purchased from Total Wine in North Carolina about a year ago.
