Another solid vintage of this consistent Tuscan Red. Blend of primary Sangiovese with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blended in. Medium ruby red color. Aromas of red and black berry/currant fruit with hints of coffee and meat. The palate shows plum, cherry and strawberry fruit flavors with additional notes of tobacco, menthol, iron and spices. Very earthy and crisp finish that includes a touch of vanilla. Nice complexity and balance. Great Lead-off wine, Keith S! — a month ago

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim, with a beautiful Bordeaux nose.
Full-bodied with medium acidity, and dry on the palate.
Showing black cherries, currants, plums, licorice, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, earth, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Bolgheri. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.
Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with fatty meats.
A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. Aged for 10 months in French and Austrian oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Aromas of sour cherry, dark plum, cedar, steeped black tea, and tobacco. Shows more earthy and mineral elements on the rich palate. Medium to full body. Bright acidity and rustic supply tannins. Solid Chianti Classical as one would expect from the house of Antinori. — 10 days ago

I’m baaaack! I’m sure no one missed me but I’ve been off the app for a while. Lots of life happening. So. Decided to jump back on due to a new to me Rose’ that I discovered. Germans can make wine! This is a wonderful deck wine with all types of food or by itself to celebrate the end of a long day. Everyone has described this wine spot on. For me though I get a slight hint of cinnamon on the end and the acidity is primo with smoked meats or a nice charcuterie! Love finding new gems! Enjoy. PS. I love this super-chilled but it is good at room temp as well. Thanks for putting up with the amateur!!! — 10 days ago
