  July 20, 2011 - The old standby is showing pretty nicely. Plenty of fruit left mixed with some integrated oak and earth. Perfect with pepperoni pizza.

  January 11, 2010 - Light purple with some brickis tones. Raspberry, blueberry and some greenness. Pomegranite, plums, some tartness, smooth, integrated tannnins, and a medium finish. Very good QPR for $10. These (and other) minor Italian varietals are well worth searching out.

  January 8, 2010 - Cherry, cedar and spice on the nose. Medium-bodied with angular tannins and a touch of rusticity on the palate. The '01 was a much better drink, with the '03 just behind the '01 in terms of complexity and overall satisfaction. The '04 is pretty at times, but it's real (only?) saving grace is its acidity, which allowed it to pair satisfactorily with a homemade meat-based red sauce. Looking forward to the '05. Approx $11, drink thru 2012.
