This wine is medium dark. The nose is savory, full of tar, earth, tobacco, licorice, plums and raspberries. The palate is similarly dark and savory, with sweet tannins and good acidity. I made a pasta sauce with my first pour, then enjoyed the second pour while it cooked. It was delightful.

Easy drinking. Plum, twizzler, earth, soft tannins and nice acid. Nice food wine for $7.99

Great wine, good value! Very easy to drink. Was suggested by Mark from Whole Foods in San Luis Obispo. I will take his advice from now on! Nice finish, medium bodied, this will go great with my Hearst Ranch short ribs!

Tough to wrap my head around. Essentially...it has the all flavor of a Sicilian red blend, but none of the structure. It’s just all out of balance. But, for the price ($8)...you can’t really complain

Purple, black, but translucent.
Plum, smoke, pepper nose. Thin, bitter, disjointed acid, with a hint of sweet.
Supposedly Nero d’Avola and Syrah.
Cannot recommend with confidence.

Very bland; could pass for communion at a Protestant church.
