A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot & Cabernet this wine has lovely aromas of roasted tomatoes, sweet tobacco & balsamic reduction on the nose. While the palate brings fruit to the forefront with raspberry & black cherry along with notes of thyme, clay & pepper through the finish. All in all, quite enjoyable and an excellent pairing with empanadas & spicy pepperoni Pizza! ($16)  [2/17/21]

Dusty cherry nose -

Must decant! Actually decant everything.
Cherry, cherry, cherry. Some sharp acidity, instantly tempered by the high tannin.

Pleasing - a standard Tuscan wine, great price.

A fabulously casual wine. Unassuming in price but delightful on the palate. Is it the NPR of wine—free but well-bred and a smidge eclectic? I’m struggling for a metaphors guys. Quite juicy but herbal. And spicy. And purpley. With plums. With gently grabby tannin times. And a bit of tang backing the big fruit. Thoroughly an overdeliverer.

Loved this wine. The longer it breathed the softer and smoother it got. Tasted complex at first but felt much more simple and satisfying as it sat.

Great upon opening and then really opens up as it breaths. Easy wine to drink casually.
