Top Notes For

9.1

Red Sox are finishing up a disappointing season, but this wine is definitely not disappointing. Nose is deeply fruity, with intense and pure red fruit and the barest whiff of gravel. In the mouth it’s fruity, pure, deep, dry, and balanced. If Le Marche made Beaujolais, this would be its Morgon. Fantastic value in a weekday dinner wine.

2014 vintage. A clear ruby wine with a grapey mineralic nose, fresh a grapey on the palate, pretty so so all around. Not flawed, not exciting.

Terrible. Bubbly, not corked (plastic), just completely not our taste. $10.99

Very easy to drink. Doesn't seem to pair well with anything besides fruit and cheeses though. I do love it though. Nice ever so slightly chilled.

Tons of violet on the nose. Pretty juicy in a nondescript way but for 10 dollars I won't complain. Def carries the acidity of Sangiovese.

Very light Rosso piceno. Nose of matches and weed. Smoke and earth came out later. Not overly flavorful. Quaffable like gamay
