Probably at it's peak, maybe a little past. Paired with Italian red sauce chicken dishes. Apr 22 Wine of the Month club from local wine store. Blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano; 12 mos in French oak. Bright red/violet, intensely fruity with soft tannins. Very enjoyable, would buy again. Great QPR IMHO.

I echo the last reviewer...this is drinking extremely well right now. Was very good on Day 1 after a 2 hour decant and frankly superb on Day 2. Wish I had held more for Day 2. Am very glad I held it this long, got it in Oct 19 as my local store's wine club offering of the month. Wish I had another. Incredible QPR. Cab, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot blend from Sonoma North Coast.

Typically not a Chardonnay fan but I really like this wine. Drank as a starter with a salad and a chickpea croquette appetizer that had a somewhat spicy dipping sauce. Perfectly balanced and smooth. Wet stone and mango came to mind with a tinge of smokiness. I'll buy this again.
