This is really good!

The pour looked like an aged Brunello in colour.

Value is fantastic.

Interesting Tuscan wine with a bit more red fruit then a Chianti with spicy depth and a lingering finish. Very balanced and drank easy.

Blackberry, cherry, plum skin, light body, some tannins, pleasant lingering finish. Having it with turkey ragu, which should be just right. 2017. Great value. Merlot Sangiovese, Syrah. Petit Verdot in equal parts.

This is a wonderfully flavorful blend. Fruit forward with spiciness added from the Syrah. We enjoyed it with beef stir fry.

Drank 11/30/19. Average pairing with Rigatoni bolognese.

An interesting blend of equal parts merlot, sangiovese, syrah, and petit verdot. Nose of red and black cherry, some tomato leaf, and sweet baking spices. Flavors of cherry liqueur, cranberry sauce, and a hint of earth. Finishes with red fruit and tar, with medium tannins and finish.

3/22/7/4/3 +50=89 pts.

Our second bargain wine of the evening, was the medium ruby-red '09 Petra Zingari Sangiovese Blend. It starts with lovely sweet scents of blackberry, cigar box and smoky earth that are followed by cherry and anise flavors. Light on the palate, but still full-flavored. Some nice floral notes on the aftertaste.

A smooth and very tasty blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Perfect with an Italian hand rubbed Tuscan sharp cheddar cheese! After a busy day at work I couldn't ask for anything more settling!
