Very well balanced: solid solid find. Pomegranate on the nose. Solid juice and funk with a bit of pepper. One of the top finds of 2020

Decent Sangiovese blend from Tuscany. Fruit forward and delicious with spicy notes like black currant and plum. Not my favorite Tuscan in the $30-50 range

Little too fruity. Not enough tannins. Don’t buy again.

Banger. Juicy with just the right amount of tannin to complement the monster fillet I enjoyed this fine evening. 🎄

A crisp and refreshing Chianti. Classic flavor profile of herbs and cherries. Perfect for a light summer meal.
