Decant. Syrah puts a strangle hold on the Merlot but an old world nose and good fruit on the pallet. Not bad. Not great. Drinkable for most.

An amazing food wine which can stand up to fish, red meat, and veggies with equal stamina. Full of bright blueberry fruit with that Sangiovese earthiness.

Nice Italian blend. Smooth sipping with a good blend of fruity and dryness.
