All the lavender/mocha/black cherry/smoke of a solid LB #bordeaux plus the black pepper of #alicante, plus the lip smacking med-short finish of a Tuscan wine. Awesome, I'm really happy with it. Get it instead of bordeaux at the same price ($17ish US). Seriously. #igt #toscana #valuewine

Light body, elegant red fruit, dried cherry and cranberry. Dusty tannin and gorgeous acid. $28.

This tastes like a bicycle tire, a turtle shell, and black licorice. And not in a good way.

Probably sat too long. Bitter on the finish and odd smell. Aside from this, light tannins and decent flavor. (Alc. 14%)

3rd place at Wine Bons. This had a cedar smell and taste, high tannins. I liked it but the group overruled me
