It's excellent! The Cab isn't bad either.

At that time it was produced in California and many folks, including me, purchased vast quantities. Now, the PN is a product of Italy. It's OK, cheap, and I purchase a few bottles from time to time. I haven't tried any other RGs lately but if you like them, go for it! Dick in MN |

RG is an example of a "brand" wine that now sources from all over. Other examples are Castle Rock, Cupcake, 2 Buck Chuck, etc. The problem is knowing what you're getting since the contents can change radically from year to year (or, in the case of 2BC, even lot to lot) Mark Lipton |

When Mel Masters sourced from the Languedoc the wines were consistantly good and value priced at under $15 for a number of varietals both red and white. Since the sourcing changed to California for some of the varietals, the price went up and the quality went down. |
