Billed with one of my favorite Italian words, “grilli” — literally “crickets”, colloquially “whims”. Pinkerton sings “Amore o grillo?” in Butterfly, wondering if his love is true.
The wine is a damn pleasurable pop and pour at $30. Ripe with sweet red fruit on the nose, and glides into an unctuous inky plum and cocoa thing on the palate. Very drinkable, would be a heavenly cheeseburger wine. @Delectable Wine this years blend is 80/20 Cab/merlot, no Sangiovese as in the title here. — 4 years ago
Crisp, well balanced. Not too sweet, very flavorful. Would drink again. Great as a first bottle of the night. — 3 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine
Medium Ruby color with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and raspberry with tobacco, floral and earthy notes. Full-bodied, well balanced soft chewy drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. — a month ago
