Dark ruby with dark purple red core. Black cherry Kuchen and terra cotta dominate the nose and medium palate. Juicy medium plus acidity. Fine, medium plus tannins bat cleanup. What's not to love about Caiarossa's entry-level red? Everything you want in a Toscana at this price point. Great with food (I'm having penne with sausage… you can try a southwestern steak with a baked potato), and a tasty autumn sipper all with enough "stuff" to lay down for a short while. Drink now through 2030. Preferably now. — 2 years ago
Very pleasant, pepperish taste of Syrah. Went well with puttanesca pasta. — 4 years ago
Perfect balance. Slightly spicy & earthy, with subtle fruit. I loved it, Z tolerated :)
Great surprise value at Vendome. BUY BUY 2007!! — 6 years ago
Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of chalky lemon rind. Medium palate confirms the nose adding lime (the fruit), lime (the mineral), and green apple. Firm acidity from entry to the moderate finish which adds cilantro and cucumber that takes over the roof of the mouth. Wonderfully complex Super Tuscan white (Viognier and Chardonnay). Mediterranean fare is, of course, a natural -- Bronzino comes racing to mind -- but try with any seafood, lighter poultry, or cream sauce. Drink now through 2027. — a year ago

Well balanced super tuscan. decanted for an hour. smooth on entry and taste. the finish had the typical tannins, not overbearing. One more bottle to come back to in a few years to see if the finish gets better. — 11 days ago
