I was disappointed. I had thought this would be a good super Tuscan. Three of us shared and all we left feeling there was simply not enough depth or taste.

Dislike. 2015 vintage, too much Merlot at 33%. Distinct Merlot. Cab at 33%, can't taste it; Sangiovese at 34%, marginally evident. Ruffino should know better. Reasonably full flavored, has body, balance between sweet/sour and soft on the palate...BUT weird finish, NEVER buy again. For the price - inexpensive - there's many better Italian blends.

I have a bone to pick with delectable. Can’t remember if I have reviewed this wine before, and when I upload the photo of the bottle, there’s no indication.

Regardless: good wine. Baby Shark... super Tuscan.
