One of my favorites. Love this wine but can never find it anymore! — 3 years ago
Light golden color. Nice hint of petrol right out of the bottle. Additional aromas and flavors of peach, nectarine, green apple, pineapple, honey and an intense lime note. A pleasant sour note on the finish. Bold, fruit forward and round with excellent mouthfeel. Crisp, but just a bit short on acidity. — 2 months ago
In 1877, Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino laid the foundations of their dream to make Italian wines from the heart of Tuscany. Medium Ruby red color with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice, blend of 80% Sangiovese with rest Merlot and Cab Sauv. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with tobacco, pepper and earthy cedar notes. Full-bodied, well balanced soft drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. Grab some Italian food and enjoy the great value wine. Consistent quality, a Fav!! — 3 months ago
A wine that holds a special place in my heart because of personal reasons when I had this specific vintage first and it set me off on my Beauj quest for serious wine. This has more “larger” fruit characteristics for a Beauj and has crowd pleasing elements. It’s mouthfeel is excellent and fruit is great. If you dig deep there is a little natural wine funk hidden at the end that is covered by a bit of the mouthfeel and some fruit. But that is me nit picking. Fruit is a bit more front and center. — 9 months ago
