Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with red fruit aromas, oak and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum, sweet spice and toasty oak. Fine soft tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, oak and slight vanilla spice. Ok value. Drink now.

Decent dinner wine, nothing special, but a good value at $25

2017...just OK. Better after open for awhile but Superiore still not as tasty as the original Tuscan blend, Santa Cristina. Very dry but well balanced, no excess anything, deep dark berry but limited flavor, medium-light body...best if opened, drank later. For some reason just does not work well vs. the original.
