Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A Blend of 60% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot and 20% Syrah, dark red color with concentrated black fruit aromas. On the palate this well balanced wine shows cherry and blackberry flavors with round fine tannins. The finish ends with vanilla notes, medium length. Nice value.

Great juice. Smooth yet complex. Everyday wine or for special occasion at this price point. Great blend.

Easy drinking, red fruit and earthy, but still relatively smooth. Good wine for pizza night!

My first impression was chocolate with a very clean mouthfeel. Some dark cherry clarified it and then the swallow finished with a touch of tannins and black pepper - a great experience highlighting elements of each grape in the blend.
