The lesson here is......Marietta angeli cuvee wines need to be aged. This wine was really good. Blue fruits and hints of rose petals I'm the nose. On the palate, sweet black fruits, pepper and spice with a solid finish. Drinking at peak, or maybe just slightly past. Great field blend - very happy to have 3 more left that I'll drink through the end of 2016.

Much better than I expected it to be. I love the fruit forward style of this wine. Although it has a high alcohol level, you really don't taste the heat of it or notice it through the gobs of fruit flavor flowing through the nose and wine itself. If you're into a fruit monster, this is it.

Nearly the last of 3 cases. Still very jammy, smooth, silky tannins - a great wine. A bit past its prime though.

A sturdy earthy full-bodied forward wine with plenty of glycerin and a velvety-texture that has aged well.
