High acid, and red fruits but not tart. Smooth tannin, cherry and pomegranate, dried herbs and balancing earthiness. No heat or edges, lovely finish. Solid QPR.

Very nice Ripasso. Pomegranates, dark plums, and excellent concentration. Well rounded, and lengthy. Great value.

Solid wine. Analyze or just enjoy it, even with the touch of Bret working in it's favor. Sometimes wines that fit this profile are so refreshing.

Fruity finish, which was a bit surprise for me, otherwise I will give it 9 plus

Nice cherry color.

Tight on the nose that is fleshy and red fruit laced.

Palate: light/medium body with a slight overbalance to acidity. Low tannin. This is heavy on the sour cherry with subtle vanilla and framed in oak. Bright finish with herbaceous feel.
