Maybe their Piquepol is the exception.Todd M.

I've had some that I think are just as good but at a much more affordable price. I also love the red blends since they have so many varietals to "play with", again for great QPR. I often think I can sense the smell of that region in the wines, with lots of herb and lavender character. I will have to admit that although I've tried Piquepol a couple times I wasn't a big fan. Maybe I need to give it another chance.<br />Again, nice writeup.Mike Chinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786009844121568209noreply@blogger.com
