Exitus, California (United States) 2010

 Twenty-five bucks is hardly chump change, but all things considered this is a quality wine that tastes more expensive than it is.  The entire package is attractive, with a conservatively handsome label that suggests high-class contents.  Made by the Cecchetti Wine Company, this fruit-forward wine is full-bodied and complex, with fairly soft tannins and a reasonably long finish.
