Super Rex - Basically an American Super Tuscan bursting with black cherry notes, strawberries, blackberries, and hints of spice. Delicious although not as intricate or elegant as its Italian counterparts. — 2 days ago

Lovely Ribera with notes of tobacco, cherries, toasted coconut, and hints of umami and citrus peel.

Needs time to breathe. Finish a bit short but good for the price range. — 24 days ago

This could probably benefit from some aging but drinking well now. Elegant aromas of dried cherries, fruit compote, spices, cocoa, and hints of exotic woods. — 3 months ago

Renieri uses French and Slavonian oak on this, adding significant complexity unlike some of the modernizing producers. Dried cherry and cranberry on first pour but after breathing the leather, cigar box, and forest floor come through. Dramatic lengthy finish with characteristic tannins that make aged sangiovese interesting. — 3 days ago

I may have sampled this when it was past its prime but it was totally one dimensional. Lacked acid or tannins or bark or bite or aromas or pretty much anything interesting. Super disappointed from a $35 bottle. — 2 months ago

Not as rich as the Hermitage, but still very good. Floral aromas, orchard fruit, minerals. Nice weight and finish. — 3 months ago

The 2023 has markedly more complexity than the 2022 and has strong notes of dried mango and fresh passion fruit. Fruit cocktail rounds it out. Super refreshing. Killer for the money, even if the finish is a bit weak. — 12 days ago

Bananas foster, Christmas fruitcake, with balanced gun smoke aromas. Much fruitier and more concentrated than the Warres. Fantastic. — 3 months ago
