Several years ago this wine was in our area at $10 a bottle. Great stuff and we went through a lot of it--but then the next vintage came. Harsh, screechy. Sounds like the '18's back in the zone and still quite fairly priced.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
