Simple, fresh, and fun. Wouldn’t kick it out of bed but not memorable either ... 🤷‍♀️

A delicious blend of 90% Sangiovese & 10% Cabernet/Merlot. You get juicy strawberry and cherry flavors with hints of black pepper and clove that linger on the finish. Its lively acidity works well with the off-dry pallate, medium body and light tannins. Best when slightly chilled (55-60°F) and paired well with pepperoni pizza! ($11) [7/25/16]

I'm a sucker for screw caps and bikes. Just a hint of reduction on the nose and good acid. Makes this wine slurpable!

A little sharp but perfect as an addition to bolognese.
