Delicious. One of the coolest wines I've had in a long time. Spicy, earthy goodness.

Delicious Duper Tuscan with earthy depth and softness- cinnamon spices and berry too. Delicious with bolognese sauce over pasta. Only $11.99 at grocery store!

Delicious. Black cherry, plum and dark chocolate on the nose with a hint of vanilla. Good acid with soft, smooth tannins. Black cherry with slightly more prominent red fruits on the palate, with vanilla, cigars, and dark chocolate on the finish. Excellent value and delicious with a shrimp fra diavolo. Would definitely buy again.

First time trying this wine and was pleasantly surprised. I would order it again, too bad it isn't available to purchase for home consumption .

Deep rich flavour with a great mouth feel. Just under 7 yrs old but with the maturity of a 15-20 yr old crafted blind. Definite oak cast foundation with hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate, deep red fruits, and sweet tobacco flavours, all with a touch of the sea. As the label suggests, this deep and flavourful combo of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon (85/15 respectively) will beautifully compliment the deep flavour of any cream, broth, or tomato sauce based on the Maillard reaction (fond) of sautéed meats or vegetables. Highly recommend.
