Used for cooking (mainly) but very similar to the prior bottle - ripe tannic fruit with decent sweetness to balance the juicy acidity. Solid value for $12 and great for food.

Great value wine. Grippy tannins, moderate acidity for an Italian wine. Fruit a bit shy at first but Merlot ultimately shows through. Nice complexity for this price level.

Nice pizza pasta wine, nice strong sweet fruit, juicy with medium tannins, tart currant and dark plum fruit. Not sure this is a long ager, but perfect to pull with some mid-week pasta.

Medium body/dark purple. Tasty tannins that fill up the whole mouth. Currant, blackberry fruit. No sign of aging, will last another 5 years.

2/19/2023 - MostlyFrance Does not like this wine:
Nose was slight blue fruit and cedar. Cigar box.
Mouth was too smokey for me. Burnt barrels? To me the wood was overwhelming. Perhaps a bad bottle?
