 Tasted by Cohn Man on 12/1/2018 & rated 89 points: Easy drinking. (2196 views)
 Tasted by merryberry on 9/18/2018 & rated 88 points: Dark cranberry red. Cedar, spice and blackberry nose. Medium to full bodied, sage, candied cherries, soft tannins, dark chocolate, and a medium to long finish. A bit over-extracted, but still very tasty. (2345 views)
 Tasted by fjd1960 on 8/28/2017 & rated 91 points: Good (3691 views)
 Tasted by elevwine on 6/23/2017 & rated 85 points: Reading earlier notes I know I am in good company. Overhyped and not a value even on sale. If tasted blind would have guessed young-vine Aussie blend. Fruity, unbalanced, a bit thin and strong acidic bite. Thankfully only bought one. Were the pro reviewers drinking the same stuff?

 Tasted by merlot78 on 4/6/2017 & rated 89 points: Amazing combination of 50% sangiovese and 50% cabernet sauvignon. (3969 views)
 Tasted by corkscrews on 3/18/2017 & rated 87 points: A nose of some dark fruit and some spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Super Tuscan, with black cherry, plum, herbs and spice on finish, an easy drinker. www.winelx.com (3980 views)
 Tasted by wirelesswine on 1/15/2017 & rated 84 points: A bit of an odd wine - this does not come off as Italian in the least bit. Seems a bit sweet and ripe - so could make for a great crowd pleaser at a party - but I was a disappointed opening this to go with a nice pasta dish when it tasted like California zin. (4563 views)
 Tasted by mwneil on 10/27/2016 & rated 88 points: Not bad, lots of fruit but some tannin that balances, more balanced than previous tasting, drinks easily, drank with eggplant lasagna, would drink again if the price was right. (3186 views)
 Tasted by mdefreitas on 9/30/2016 & rated 87 points: Pretty disappointing given the hype and press, but for the discounted price of about $15, this wasn't too bad. A bit too modern, with lots of oak and vanilla, but the fruit still comes through (mostly on day 2). Attenuated finish and not much depth, but hey, it was $15. Not bad for a weekday pizza wine.

 Tasted by bitjockey on 8/27/2016 & rated 87 points: Not a fan of this jammy Australian-style "modern" wine. Residual sugar of 13g/L was too much for me. (2796 views)
 Tasted by AAJR on 8/26/2016 & rated 89 points: Consumed over two nights - very nice/enjoyable for the price. (2489 views)
 Tasted by AAJR on 4/21/2016 & rated 88 points: Enjoyed with pizza, nice fruits. For 20.00 good QPR (3397 views)
 Tasted by mwneil on 2/6/2016 & rated 87 points: tasted at the WL, good fruit and tannin but young and unbalanced, the finish is short, might have some possibilities. (3377 views)
