Also the first of my bargains from Wein & Co. This little bottle set me back 5.59 euros, being the "wine of the month" (at normal price, 6.99 euros - 6.29 per bottle at 12 bottles from W&C...) the flavor is smoky, with a bit of a peppery after-taste. Perfect with savory items, like grill foods and cheeses.
The flavor is a bit heavy for this time of year. I would say this is more of an October wine, considering the spice factor. A lighter red, like a new wine (2010) or perhaps a Beaujolais would go better with high 70s temps. In any case, this is definitely an enjoyable (and cheap!) wine from a region which, unfortunately, doesn't get a lot of press.
