great wine for the value. A beautiful blend that reminded me of the red table wines served at bistros and cafes in Italy. Smooth, full-flavored yet reserved. not too fruit-forward with a silky finish.

Came across as harsh on open, but with an hour of air, a ripe, simple, rustic wine with good acid, a nice tannic bite, but a distracting anise/licorice note. Not bad.

40% Negroamaro, 30% Primitivo, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon; some clarity, darker core with bright maroon rim; very ripe, young, raspberry, almost fig, candied, slight sulfur; medium bodied, awkward acidity almost like it was acidified, sharp, some powdered tannin, Rhone-ish on the finish.

On the thicker side, but enough acid to give it good structure. Drink or hold. Fairly priced at a sawbuck.

Warm red fruit after a little air, tastes excellent for this price.On second day with more developed mocha notes. Great value, go to mid week wine

Tastes too much like cabernet. Too much oak.

Mouth watering and ripe, but at times somewhat jammy. Solid Sangiovese, though, and the longer the night went on, the more luscious it became.

Competent with some tannins and tartness, but not exciting.

I preferred other vintages of this wine. A nice Monday or Tuesday night wine.

Concentrated, juicy, and lively. Good depth and balance. A versatile, food-loving wine.
