Re-gifted to me by a friend who doesn't like red wine. Medium bodied, undeniably Italian in profile, and clean and dry on the finish. This is a very serviceable food companion, and a solid QPR for around $12 (I think).

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. The body is medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Seems like it might be a notch below the 2011. Acidity and structure are still here, but that certain "x" factor may not be. Still, it's pretty consistent with the prior vintage and the same cherry fruit is still at the forefront.

I have a soft spot for this one, having first purchased it at Bin604 and then seeing it again at Costco. While not a high-end wine it drinks well and we fully enjoyed this bottle. It pairs well with food and is a much better buy than others in this price range, in our opinion.

Tasted at Wine Advocat event - A matter of taste. Medium ruby. Nose of red fruit with some cassis and spices. This is rather fruity, one dimensional, easy drinking.

Deep ruby red colour. Vanilla, raspberries and sweet cherries on the nose. Taste of raspberries and sweet cherries with a aftertaste of vanilla. Great with grilled meat. A value for the money BIB.

Deep ruby red colour. Cherries and spices with hints of leather on the nose. Taste of cherries, red currants and spices with an aftertaste of blackberries. Goes well with Italian food.

Used for sangria, and the sangria was delicious, so I suppose this was good too.

Bright and purple, some pepper on the nose. Much tannins and red fruit on the palate. Easy drinking.

Lite tanninner, kiresbær. Mangler en del struktur og balanse, kjedelig. Ikke godt kjøp.
