Either it's too old or there are much better vintages. Used to be an old stand-by. Not anymore! #tormaresca #neprica 2010

Unfortunately it's not an authentic Italian wine because it contains some Cabernet Sauvignon. It's an easy drinking, everyday, table wine. Any price under $10 is fair. It's smooth but lacks the character and sophisticated flavors of a high quality wine. It's more of a "follower" wine, copying the chocolatey California wines.

Interesting nose. Do I get Brie??? Odd smell anyway, some indistinguishable floral notes too. Earthy, leathery taste. Some tobacco. Not very bright, little fruit, a touch of red cherry at best. It's ok. That smell though...

A nice, warm red with a smooth and berry taste. A very nice table red for the value.

Cherry, full body, medium finish but chewy and tannic.

Light with a refreshing hint of acidity. Great spring table wine.
