Scaia Veneto Corvina
Glorious corvina. Violet candies, light tannins, great acid, touch of black pepper. Utterly lovely.

Jun 24th, 2015Great color extends all the way to the rim. Black asphalt and brambly herbs dominate the nose with licorice and burning candle. Deep raspberries on the palate. Pungent with great structure acid and moderate tannins. Understood why it received 90pts and is $10ish on the shelf. Opened 5/12/15

May 13th, 2015The best part of this wine is that it has a glass enclosure. The worst part is that it drinks like a cheap Sonoma County wine that someone tried to make into sangria. Robert Parker gave it 90 pts though, so what do I know?
