Deliciously ripe strawberries on the palate rounded out by slight earthiness. And just when I thought the wine was a bit too flabby, its wonderfully dry finish hit me. Can't wait to have more!

Full-bodied, super extracted, but balanced by its acidity. The Petit Verdot keeps it interesting.

Tons of blackberries. Overtly fruity, but the flab is masked by great acidity. Nothing life-changing here, but nothing to be upset about either. An excellent quaffer especially for the price.

Here's a wine with a little bit of everything. The Sangiovese lends an acidic lift while it's Cabernet counterpart imparts dark bramble fruits and some New World love.

Racy acidity offset by extreme fruitiness which would've been fine if it weren't artificial tasting. You know, that same flavor you get from supermarket California cab. That being said, it definitely came into its stride when accompanied by food.

Lovely sweetness with notes of fragrant honey and tropical pineapple. The acids keeps the sugar in check, and the wine lively. Highly recommended.

On the lighter side of Sangiovese. Palate: just red cherries, concentration is left to be desired somewhat. Despite the thinness, it's still a good Chianti.

Great concentration of fruit; brimming with juicy cherries, and complimented with subtle earthy nuances. Bold, beautiful, and in control.

Loved this. For me, near perfect integration of fruit, oak, sweetness, and acidity. The only white wine that continues to haunt me to this day. Wish I had bought more...

Seductive with loads of dark fruits and sweet tannins. This is big, even by Aussie standards. Expect stained teeth after a session with this wine. Wow @_@
