Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Superb! Full bodied, medium acidity, and wonderful fruit while amazingly dry (not overly sweet as Amarone can be). Aromas of cherry, cassis, white pepper on the nose. Great follow through with silky smooth blackcurrant and a hint of vanilla (oak) shining through. This is an amazing value at $15. Buy it if you find it. Curious on 5hr aging potential 🍷
Let this decant for 1 - 2 hrs.

This is the red from Verona, but the red isn't coming up. Rich and fruity with ripe cherries. Almost syrupy. Intense, as expected, and delish! Lovely and creamy, with more ripe fruits, black olive, and sundried tomatoes, and a super smooth finish. What a great buy for $15 from Trader Joe's.

Trader Joe's, $15
Needs time to breathe, got ripe blueberries on the nose. Smooth, dryish but good balance with a little berry sweetness. Just enough tannins and a pleasant somewhat short finish. I very much enjoyed this, I couldn't really find anything I didn't like about it, especially at it's price point. I'm typically a budget TJs wine shopper, always looking for the next sub $10 gem, but this was definitely worth the extra few bucks and is going on my rotation.

Started off very strong and acidic but got much more tasty and rich with a lot of air time. Kept it slightly chilled to bring to an outdoor summer picnic and it was a hit!

Solid red. Full and a little fruity. Mostly earthy notes. Very dry but not overly tannic

Simple, pleasant, not too complex. Chocolate aftertaste.

A little sweet. Got better once it opened up a bit. So definitely needs time to breath.
