Last bottle of a case from Zachy's $5 clearance. Consistent notes: cherry forward, even some tarry notes, little structure, not for the long haul. Works with lighter Italian fare, but can't stand up to a potent papardelle Bolognese. For the price, great value in an easy and pleasant gulper, Old World style.

Warm ripe cherries and plums, on the rounder side of Chianti, could use some more acidic vim and vigor. Still, it's clean and unflawed, and it was $5. B-/C+, but still ok value.

Perfectly decent simple wine. Similar to a few others, I got this for a song, and so it was an excellent QPR.
