Nose of red cherry, tomato leaf, leather, and a bit of earth. Flavors of red cherry, earth, and some sanguine notes. Medium tannins and finish. Nice acidity. This is an excellent pizza wine and pairs very well with tomato based sauces. $12. Total wine.

3/21/8/4/3 +50 = 89 pts.

Had the 2019 in April of 2024. Really enjoyed this. Dry but red cherry softens the dryness. Earthy with light tannins. Great buy for the price. Plan to get this one again. Had with chicken and mushroom risotto and paired remarkably well.

Medium ruby in color; cherries, dried herbs, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like tart cherries, raspberry sauce, and clay pots with a long finish. Nellie and Bri don't like it, but I love it!

Aged in Slavonian oak casks for two years, this Sangiovese dominated wine is delicately fragrant and spicy with lovely cherry fruit flavors. Pair with roast duck, rare steak, or vegetable lasagna, must be great.
