Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Medium Ruby red color with aromas of berry fruit and earthy spice, organically grown fruit. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with tobacco, floral and earthy flowery notes. Full-bodied, well balanced drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. Grab some Italian food and enjoy the great value wine. Sustainable.

Medium Ruby with red fruit aromas and floral spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry with notes of sweet earthy spice. Fine tannins on a medium+ finish, good balance with acidity yielding to a fresh ending with a zing of spice. Drinks well now! Nice!

Lighter and fruitier than I would have expected. A bit of a perfume that seems out of place. Seems odd for a 2014...

This reminds me of a date I went on once where the girl was pretty but couldn’t add much to the conversation and the night got boring quickly. Check please!

Nice fruit bouquet, light tannins, perfect late evening Sangiovese. We took a bottle home to share with friends.

Classic cherry and violets, with plenty of evidence of wood. A bit out of balance in tertiary smells.
