Maybe it's because I was skeptical of the "made with organically grown grapes" ploy on the label, or maybe it's because the Bin 555 lowered my palate's standards prior to drinking this one, but I was very impressed with it, even at the $15 price point. It's not a 5-star $15 wine, but it's close. Tastes more like a dry, yet savory valpolicella. Yumminess for hippies.
