    Pelz on Wine &bull Mar 8, 2010

    My last bottle of this, and like its predecessors, it did not disappoint. Lovely dark cherry red color and a typical nose of dried herbs, dill pickle, and red and black berry fruit. On the palate, it adds leather and… Full Story »

    Celebrate Wine &bull Feb 17, 2010
