Dark brooding red with purple rims, showing mix dark fruits and raspberries on the nose along with violets and touch of oak. Palate is fruity and approachable, exhibits raspberries, strawberries, red cherries and sweet jammy fruits. While it is nice and easy to drink, it also lacks some backbone and structure on the mid-palate. Nice juicy finish with medium length and smooth tannins.

Nicely balanced wine, ruby red to the eye, fine tannins, bright red fruit, cherries, dried flowers, and spice with a touch of vanilla and oak. Great value @ $16.

The wine looks garnet colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like fig. It tastes like fig. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity. Very light and lovely everyday wine.

A long Saturday lunch with Luigi's wine portfolio tasting: Dark ruby with youthful purple hue. It has a nice lifted nose of red cherry, flower, violet and hints of sweetness. Modern expression with plenty of fuits and hints of sweetness, light and smooth on palate. Very approachable and pleasant drinking with light tannins.

Fresh and juicy barbera. Good spice character, fresh and fruity, works it out for around $16.

Wine Interest Group event - Dinner with Luigi's wines (Extra Space, Boon Keng): Fresh jammy nose, with lots of red fruits and raspberries. Very approachable fruity palate and soft tannins.

Very fruit driven, mild spice, tastes a bit carbonic, charming in its own way. Over at $20, wish it was $15. Steal at $9.99.
