Fragrant nose of black cherry jam and spice. Juicy in the mouth with mouth-coating red and black fruit. Long juicy finish. Just delicious wine. At first, Amy found it too sour, but after a couple of hours, with dinner, she loved it. Open for days, it is still amazingly complex and delicious. Rich and thick with flavors of wet earth and tree bark. Plenty of life ahead.

This wine takes you to Italy for $30. It also takes you back in time a bit. I thought this showed very well, but will wait to 3-5 years before I open another bottle.

Excellent! Wine has always been good, with lots of fruit but balanced by acid. Tannins have now mellowed, transforming this from a complex-for-the-drinkability pleasure to a genuinely fabulous wine.
