A great Spanish red to get the blog going again


LUDOVICIOUS
I know, I know, I have not posted in a very long time. Since my last post I switched jobs and am now working for a distributor make more money but working plenty more as well. The other night Ana and I enjoyed this awesome Spanish Red that I picked up at the Tower Package Store down the road. I enjoyed it so much that I just had to put it on this blog. The wine retails for about $13.00 and is imported to the states by Ole Imports, a company started by two college students in 1999. What was I doing in college? Probably drinking some of there wines.

Ludovicus is from the Terra Alta Region of Pinol, Spain. It is made up of 35% Garnacha, 30% Tempranillo, 25% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a nice dark cherry color with nice aromas of cherries, licorice, tobacco and pencil box and the palate is well structured with a long finish. A great blend and an excellent value. I give it an A
