This superlative food wine is all about the bright cherry and blueberry fruits. The oak is nicely restrained and there’s a bit more sweetness to the finish than the sip. Bellissimo!

Good for the price, not as complex or full like it’s counterparts. Cherry and leather with a more delegate tannic structure.

First Italian red wine I haven't fallen in love with. Even after decanting it still had a bitter edge. I didn't pay much and it got what I paid for.

Tart cherry on the nose, cherry cola, florals: rose, lavender. Slight vanilla. Heavy, tannic palate. Fresh herbs. Rustic and pretty drinkable after three hours of decanting.

Delicious wine. Starts savory, and medium bodied. Tart with a dry finish. Great with BBQ. And gets more and more delicious. And eventually finished fruity. Would get again. 14.99 at TJ.

If you want a nice evening, don’t start with this vintage. Relegate it to the second bottle and drink something better first.

Still a solid Trader Joe’s wine for the price. A bit tiney. Cherry.

2020 vintage. Checked multiple (4) Trader Joe’s locations to see if there was any more of the verry solid 2019 vintage left anywhere. No luck. Took the plunge on the new vintage. Still worth the ca$hi$h. Lots of prettier fruits and medium body. Not as much structure as the 2019 but that dropoff was expected. Won’t drink as much of the 2020 as I did the 2019 but for $14.99, it’s still a relative bargain. Will hit again. 4.8.24.
