Ruby Sangiovese and Merlot blend exhibits plum fruit with medium tannins and acidity. Fine for the price.

This was good, nothing special. Funky burgundy smell at first but then eased to a slight fruit. Nice cherry flavors with a medium finish.

Bit flat and short. Soft wine lacking real character.

Hint of plum and spice, high viscosity and sharp tannins, smooth for a blend. Makes me think of Italy...
