This is a good pick if you can find it, I thought it was balanced very well especially for the price the acid in it cuts back on the sweetness or at least you don't notice it as much. It had a very nice finish of apricot and Sage paired
really nice with with a spicy Chinese salt and pepper calamari.

What a treat.... the more I get to try the vermentino wine the more I enjoy it. The wine is very soft acid with Citrus flavors start off with green apple or perhaps pear great finish — 9 years ago

Very nice, it paired very nicely with Paella

Although you first notice the sweetness (fruit) it does finish nicely on the Savory side.
Went well with shellfish, tereso and chicken.

More of a peppery finish then a fruit forward taste but it is very nice, even nicer when you're paid under $10 a bottle. In my humble opinion — 9 years ago

This is a Washington Bordeaux blend not bad at all especially at the price point under $20 it has a nice fruit start but a little tendons in the end to make it interesting — 8 years ago

I have to tell say this is one of the best ones I've had in a long time it comes from the Piedmont area of Italy It is 100% Merlot, but unlike any Merlot that you may tried before. It has a very slight hint of raspberry and Plum and a little more obvious is ripe Cherry but what really stands out is a leathery smokey flavor soft tannins interesting wine to be sure — 9 years ago

I picked this up at Costco, and after tasting it my only mistake was not getting a few bottles. I will head back and see if I can buy some more it starts off with a very nice nose. It has a very nice smooth finish which is only outshined by the hints of cherry that starts off this wine. I also love the name remind me of someone I knew. Thinking of you DM. — 9 years ago
