We had this for the first time back in February and really liked it then. It was the 2006 vintage and was very smooth with a good body, nose, and taste. Last night we enjoyed the 2007 version, and it was fantastic. It was rich, juicy, and very smooth. The aroma and taste were similar -- cherries, raspberries, and plums.

According to the FFC Winery website, the 2007 Rosso was a blend of grapes grown in Lodi and Paso Robles. It is 44% Zin, 34% Syrah, and 22% Cab.

We drank a glass with dinner (pizza) and finished the bottle after dinner. The Rosso normally sells for around $10, but I found it at Publix for $7. For that price, this is an incredible wine. I wish I had bought more.
