Dark garnet red with brick edges. Fruitier than we would have thought with some earthiness, mushrooms, red cherries, leather and some spices. Medium tannins (5.5/10) with solid acidity and medium to medium plus bodied. Layered palate with damp leaves, cherries, some dark cocoa and some gravel. Drink till 2021.

This is a great wine at $11. Drank over two nights. Nice fruit with good Sangiovese character - a little bit of an edge to it the first night - but still very nice. Preserved with a vacu-vin pump and the second night, this was drinking very well as the little rough edge from the first night was gone. Overall a great value IMO.

Just a great value wine. At $12, this was a steal. I only wish I would have bought 6 more bottles of this. Unfortunately, this was my last one.

Notes consistent with previous reviews. A great everyday Italian.
