  September 6, 2022 - Very, very solid wine for $15 with plenty of expression and a decent sense of elegance. Ripe black cherry, some tighter sour cherry, touches of baking spice in the very far background, gentle herbal nuance. Acidity could be a *touch* higher but it's still an excellent food wine with delicious, honest fruit and a persistent finish. It doesn't have any sort of "wow" factor for the price, but it's a fantastic buy.

  January 28, 2022 - Italian Values: Deep ruby color. Plummy and fresh on the nose with raspberries, cola, warm clay and some tobacco and basil elements. Crisp and fun on the palate, light tannins, this has a zesty, smooth appeal with cherries and red plum fruit. Complexities of light roast coffee, dusty earth, sage and tobacco add a nice touch. Has a fun, fresh vibe but complex and savory, too.
