Again, very nice, this time with quinoa "risotto" and oven-roasted tomatos. Nice barbera varietal character. Some cocoa, dark cherry, iron, nice characteristic acid. For the price I paid for these ($15) I cannot complain.

Interesting. This is a rare example of a somewhat simple and mediocre wine that got better with aging. On the nose it now has nice dark brambly fruit as well as some leather and spice. Nice acid in the mouth with chewy bing cherry. Medium finish. The more I drinky, the more I likey.

Slightly better than the last bottle, but still nothing that would stick in one's memory or ask to be drunk again. Not flawed in any way, but generic and simple. A wine to set out on a table with lots of people who are already drunk.

Not at all flawed, but generic, simple, one-dimensional. Like watching Three's Company re-runs.

very average wine: wasn't showing much of interest, even after 2 hrs.
