Tough call on this one because the nose was really rich and opulent, but upon initial tasting the acidity seems to have banished the fruit to almost nothing. This didn't improve much with additional air, but within another hour we were serving various Italian dishes with red sauce and the wine came back to life with the food, but the purely acidic profile dominated once again when the food was gone. I'd say drink up soon and definitely with food!

Herbal infused smoke & slight tar on the nose. Nice red cherry flavors infused with smoke & plum. The sangiovese acids kick in on the finish. Always a good value.

Cherries and mineral. No nose to speak of, good color. Soft finish. Maybe not a spectacular wine, but at this price point I will sure do this agai.
