Balloquets V.V. $17.99 The Wine Merchant, Raleigh. Nomacork closure. 12% alcohol by volume.
Darkly colored and opaque. I was disappointed the first evening as I found it totally uninteresting. I liked it much better the second evening--perhaps it just needed some time open to come around. I paired it with a ground beef casserole and tossed salad for a casual meal. Delicately flavored and pleasant.
