March 31, 2020 - Perhaps not quite the '13 we have been drinking as of late. Still good QPR.

February 24, 2020 - comparable to a recent bottle of '13; light wine with simple pleasant fruit and a hint of baby aspirin oakiness.

January 14, 2019 - Tonight this was good but seemed bit less than previous experiences. Still quite decent for $12 but it was better in the fall. Different bottling lots? You always wonder about continuity in a mass market wine.

October 13, 2018 - Sat, 10/13/18, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Sangiovese, C.S., Merlot, & Syrah, ea fermented separately; "Aged partly in oak and partly in s/s tanks before bottling in Sept. 2016;" 7,200 cs imported to U.S.
N: Slightly closed; Berries (lingons?) with notes of earth, poss smoke?
P: Med body; NICE, almost swtish frt met by some astringent pucker which pretty much resolves by the LONG finish with an init very, VERY slt bitterness ULT giving way to a tangy/swtness for the very, VERY fine tannins. Approachable now (IF one does not mind the mid-P jolt of structure), but deserves through '19, then drinking for 3 yrs more. My VG+/EXC-, the higher IF one focuses upon the the QPR of this vendor's $9.95, which puts it in the TOP of wine-searcher's 2nd quartile. 90 pts Suckling & 89 WS (& 1 of their Top 100 Values for '17 @ $13).
