Tastes a little rough in the mouth, like wood chips. There is some cherry fruit. But the nose says alcohol, and not much else. The color is there, but the completeness is not. Probably made in batches. Never sees any barrels. Simple, one dimensional. The tannins seem to come from a 50 pound bag. The finish is blueberry and vanilla. Might be good with pizza, but why take the chance?

This is a great value wine. We were shocked at how good this wine was. I decanted the wine for about an hour before drinking. The wine had a very fruity palate with a vey dry and smooth finish. A perfect everyday drinking wine.

Excellent value. Nice color, faint nose, but very nice berry/cherry. On the palate, this also had very excitable cherry and berry flavors with some subdued leather and wood with maybe a hint of herb. Tannins were smooth. This 2008 is much better than the 2007, and much more like the 2006 I remember - an excellent quaffer for the nice cheap price tag.

Noticeable cherry taste which was about the only thing that was not unpleasant about this. Would not recommend in any way for drinking.

In the quest for cheap Super Tuscans, this isn't it. Very young and tannic.
