Medium ruby in the glass, abundant nose, balanced acidity, cherry, anise and cedar on the palate. Very nice with a grilled smoked pork chop. Will definitely seek out more.

Good wine, great acid balance. Went well with pizza. Not too complex, but the bright Barbera fruit was shining through. I expected this to be a bit sweeter given that it's Scott's red label, but I was pleasantly surprised to not detect any Forte aromas or flavours. Looking forward to the reserve bottles I've got.

Consistent with prior notes, except the port component is very subdued tonight. Still very good.

Pretty good food wine. Fruit a little muted, but balanced and smooth. Safe wine to bring to a gathering.

This went very well with dinner: duck breast with peachy pineapple sauce, duck sausage, and quail. Delicious.
