Draped and shaded seductively maroon to burgundy sporting a deeper burgundy rim, spin her around you'll catch dampened earth, the last night's smoldering fire hits but mellows to spice interestingly accenting a hint of camomile, then back to the smoldering embers , a kiss goes to first blush blueberries and strawberries unctuously coating, clinging front to back, as tannins squeeze the acid and fruit just enough to slow the flow for a lazy decent into a skinny-dipping swim, swirl and, oh hell yes, another swig, which at a mere 12% I want to dance all night! Tomorrow, I'll snag a couple of cases of this seductive stuff, but for now, "a glass of red and the sunset..."

Very light and smooth & lingers nicely on the palate. Easy drinking not offensive. Back of bottle has braille detail. Yes would buy again

First time drinking an Italian Pinot noir but I loved it. Extremely drinkable and smooth with great flavor, not too sweet or too spicy. Amazing

I tried this last night and again tonight thinking it needed to breathe but I did not like. I did not like the smell and I did not think it was smooth. Smelled like a dirty kitchen rag. Then taste follows.

Big fruit and jam and berries. Light acid, off dry and man does it smell good.

Maroon to burgundy with a deeper burgundy rim, spin it around and dampened earth and last night's smoldering fire hits but mellows to spice interestingly accenting camomile and a way far-off Play-Doh fantasy then back to the smoldering ember blueberries and strawberries unctuously coating, clinging front to back, then the tannins squeeze the acid and fruit just enough to slow the flow for a lazy decent into a skinny-dipping swim, swirl and, hell yes, another swig, which at a mere 12% I want to dance all night! Don't know about you, but I plan to snag a couple of cases of this seductive stuff with the sunrise. For now, "a glass of red and the sunset..."
