I've read many articles about the "Moment". The moment you find the perfect bottle of wine where it is completely balanced. Wine nirvana so to speak. I thought it was all BS until I tasted this wine. It was fantastic! Big nose of fruit, acid, tannins, color, all in harmony with each other. The best Brunello I have ever had. The 95 is conservative it's a 98 easy. If you have one drink it , it's ready. You won't be disappointed.

Big nose of fruit really opened up nice 45 minutes in. Smooth delicious great finish. Next day just as
good with some Granda Padano cheese.

Great balance, lots of fruit, wonderful with Manicotti. Short finish. 100% Sangiovese.

Popped and poured, no decanting, let it open up in the glass. Really smooth, great finish, dark ruby color, good balance. Sorry I did not have more. Drinking fine now, but who knows later? Wonderful.

Not too good, but not awful. Some fruit but muted, short finish. It's a $15.00 bottle of wine, but that's all. Surprising because most Kenwood wines are decent for the money. Will not buy again.

Nose very fragrant full of fruit, nice color, mild tannins, weak finish, flavorful but not very complex. Have to try another bottle.

This Brunello was okay, a bit thin, not a very big wine like others I had in the past. Fruit was nice, nose fragrant, but finish was not too good. Decanted 3 hours enjoyed at 65 degrees. Not bad but something was lacking.

Outstanding, agree with other tasters and then some.

Really good Super Tuscan, Montepulciano and Cab blend. Loads of fruit, great balance, very smooth on the palate, nice finish. Good value for around 20 bucks. Need to get more.

Loads of fruit. Really good with feta and olives.

Not very good, nothing positive to say about it. Would not buy again, in fact I'm glad I did not buy it. It was a gift.

Fruity, Fizzy, and Fun wine. A decent Lambrusco pairs well with pizza. Would buy again.

Great fruity wine used for Sangria base. Can't go wrong with Columbia Crest wines.

9/3/2016 - tucsonwino Does not like this wine:

Nice nose with tropical fruit, pale gold color, hated the finish, way too much oak for me.

9/3/2016 - tucsonwino Does not like this wine:

Whoa very tannic. Hardly any fruit. Needs several more years.

8/3/2016 - tucsonwino Does not like this wine:

Okay, but not that good, thin taste, not much going on there. There are much better Portugal Rose' out there.

Nice all around red wine, very versatile good with a large variety of foods. Great price too.

4/9/2016 - tucsonwino Likes this wine:

Decanted one hour, nose of soil ? muskie earth ? not offensive. Color dark ruby red, typical nebbiolo qualities. High alcohol 14.5 %, well balanced long finish of dark fruit. Many years left to age.

Big nose of fruit upon decanting 50% Merlot 50% Sanjo, excellent balance, medium body, nice finish. Very versatile with any Italian food. Delish

Great table wine easy drinking, lots of fruit, goes with antipasto up to pasta with tomato sauce, and various Italian cheeses. Wonderful.

Nice summer wine a little dryer than white zin. Pink color, a bit sweet. Easy drinking.

10/28/2015 - tucsonwino Likes this wine:

Not bad but not great either. Low tannins, easy drinking, not much there. Okay everyday wine, would be good for cooking.

9/1/2015 - tucsonwino Does not like this wine:

Okay but not great, a bit tannic, not too well balanced. Even worse the second day. As an everyday wine...no.

8/8/2015 - tucsonwino Likes this wine:

This is by far the driest Brunello I have ever tasted. Long finish, not very tannic and quite good. Medium red color, great with tomato sauce dishes and some Granda Padano cheese. Most enjoyable. Disagree with the short drinking window though.

Very nice refreshing fruit taste, a little dry but not overly so. Enjoyed on the rocks with a splash of lemonade. Yum!

Opened up after about an hour, 80% Sanjo 20% Merlot dark grape color, smooth finish with a little hint of tannin. Some sweetness to it from the Merlot. Good with Baked Ziti pasta.

Fruity, light, with a crisp finish. Nice and easy drinking, pale yellow color. Served at 48 degrees not too cold with antipasto salad.

I don't know why I wasted some brain cells on this. It had no body, no finish, no nose, no flavors to speak of. The name says it all OMG. Who ever made this swill should be fired. It was like grape water. I have to say this was the WORST wine I have ever drank.

6/2/2014 - tucsonwino Likes this wine:

Lots of berries upon first taste, nice nose of fresh fruit. Balance was okay color was ruby it was medium in body. Had a nice texture to it as well. Very enjoyable.

Ruby color a bit thin, kind of like an Ore. pinot. No finish at all to speak of. Nose of some berries, will not drink again.

Really liked this wine, light ruby color, not as dry as a Chianti, pleasant nose of berries, light with good balance, off dry with smooth tannins. Will drink it again.
