love Dolcetto from Dogliani and Einaudi is a quality producer but this was somewhat harsh and underwhelming. red fruit, dried herbs, earthy but lacked balance & finesse — 2 days ago

as @Ray Vanderhoff says: great value red, very consistent thru vintage, balanced, complex & infinitely drinkable — 8 days ago

$21 at Walmart of all places: inky dense rich - needed 2 hrs to unfurl to show complexity that is PS: coffee & tobacco, licorice and oh so peppery, herbs, and all manner of red & black fruit + cassis & vanilla. luscious dense plenty of stuffing, polished & suave on mid palate leading to lingering finish. still plenty of life ahead, definitely felt ABV tho — 13 days ago

pretty good, WS raved about this - not sure it lives up to the hype: have had this many times over the years, reliable quaffer field blend from Banfi, they probably made tens of thousands of cases — 8 days ago

solid red, fairly innocuous but tasty - well made w/intermediate aging potential, med bodied, med tannins & med acidity (see what I mean?!) — 13 days ago

quintessential RRV Chard, not bashful w/oak & malo, but not overly done or clumsy. $15 on closeout from Walmart of all places: oxidized yellowish color, some grilled tropical fruit, potpourri, dried orange rind, musky, buttered popcorn, silky & big on palate, little oily, little viscous, more oxidized flavors leading to lingering pleasant finish. New producer to me, excellent value — 11 days ago
