Opening a bottle, which needs to breathe, Vivid Ruby with dark crimson edges and aromas of red fruits and spice on the nose. On the palate ripe cherries, plum and dark fruit come forth along with hints of sweet spice tobacco and dark chocolate. The finish shows well developed tannins and balanced with sweet oak. This wine is a tremendous value. Outstanding!

CellarTracker users called this dead but I disagree. Rich cherry and flowers, acid shows finesse. Fading, yes, though drinking well.

This wine needs food. Delicious when paired with meatball with tomato source.

Smoky, earthy spice aroma. No mistaking this is a Sangiovese Tuscan. However there's a much more pronounced oak-smoke that works here. Robust tannins linger with a long finish.
