This is an adequate wine. And improves by being open for awhile. Frankly, it's not that good. You could do better. Too jammy, weird finish.

Very light, smooth, crowd-pleasing Italian. A tiny bit of spice in the finish; great with a tomato-sauced pasta.

This does not have the complexity of Ledson's other wines; but it's a lovely Barbera. Bright, fruity, with strong cherry notes. Nice outdoor in the summer with a steak!

There's not a lot going on with this very drinkable average red table wine. Strong notes of cherry, not much of a finish. It certainly improves by breathing.

For the money- not bad.

We enjoyed this wine in a plastic cup at a Milwaukee Sheraton. Light body, grape jam flavor. Quite nice.
