Last bottle of these—consistent with previous experiences. What a great QPR at $11. Great blend of earthy, tobacco, and dark fruit notes. A little bit lighter in the mouth than you'd perhaps get in a SuperTuscan at a little more $$, but this is solid for what it is, which is great value red for pizza, pasta, and red sauce with braised meats.

Nice art on the label (watercolour painting). 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cab, 25% Merlot. Definitely European in style. Colour is darkish. On the nose the Sangiovese is prominent. The taste is slightly pleasant and pleasantly dry, and a little better than expected. $16 a bottle. Overall value: 2.5 of 5 stars. Good (82.5).

I enjoyed this wine better this go around than I did on my last tasting about 18 months ago. Both the nose and pallet were more prominent and the finish longer on this tasting. Perhaps the bottle simply benefited from a little time in the cellar.

Meh. A little too fruity. Maybe again, but wouldn't seek it out.

Very little fruit, taste is "ok". Tried decanting and didn't seem to work.
