A mostly merlot Super Tusacan, some cab sauv and franc as well. Has a gentle smoothness that covers up some wilder, almost grilled notes. Nothing meaty, but has a good chew.
The value on this is terrific.

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Nice nose of blueberries, cherries, licorice, oak, sweet vanilla bean, leather, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead, tar, dark coffee and black pepper.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, black currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, smoke, chocolates, leather, herbs and peppercorn.
Medium plus in finish with medium grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a very enjoyable Tuscan red. Nicely balanced with mild complexity. Shows a nice, gentle mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up and shows some tannins and a nice tangy bite at the ending.
Enjoyable by itself or with food. A good party wine and good wine to pair with food.
Feels more like a nice California Cabernet - Merlot blend.
A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

2009 Aia Vecchia "Lagone". A lovely (mini) Super Tuscan value holding up well with a few years bottle age. Black plum, currant, tar, cedar, black tea. Drinks like a wine at twice the price.

One of my favorite total steals from Italy. Graphite, sour cherry, tomato leaf, and dried herbs sing of Tuscany - tasting beautifully alongside these pesto gnocchi as we gear up to watch the Women’s Long Programs tonight.

Deep red with purple and rose hues. Elder flower, rose and spice cake aroma. This wine has finesse in its tannin. Some animal/fish nuance that is appreciated and added to the lamb and goat cheese papperdelle con agnello. I can't lie, the pasta barely wowed more than the wine.
