The wines were all wonderful - not overwhelmingly complex and very nice. They have a number of red blends as well as a few sweet wines. While we have limited room in our suitcases, we picked up 6 bottles and would have grabbed more if we could. The family who runs the winery is 3 generations deep and has a great operation running.
