Extremely smooth. Beautifully balanced; dark ruby red. On the nose there is jelly, and on the palate there is a light strawberries, apples, and a earthy finish. Was too good. Paired nicely with a tomato and mushroom rigatoni. — 8 years ago

Very young, but went nicely with rigatoni and meatballs. Nose of tar and caramel. Hits the palate a little harshly but mellows out nicely with air. Overall a solid experience. — 9 years ago

The crisp acidity makes this South African chenin blanc a wonderful accompaniment to spicy rigatoni. Fresh and mineral on the nose. Flavors of green apple, pear, and a slight honeysuckle finish. Well balanced. — 9 years ago

This wine disappeared rather quickly tonight. 93 without batting an eye, maybe 94. This wine pours a translucent red / violet. Nose of mint and herbal cherry. Entry is MUCH more rounded than expected. Sweet cherry cola and acidity building in the mid palate. Finishes with some bing cherry sweetness, some herb, hint of tart, hint of oak tannin but not much. Good weight without being overpowering, and went with rigatoni pasta quite well. I think this one has another 5 years before it starts to head down the hill. Nice bottle. — 6 years ago

Beaujolais all day! Nose shows candied plums, overripe banana skin, dense wet soil. Loving the juiciness and roundness of candied red fruit, boysenberry, and banana all backed by relatively modest acidity and structure in the absence of tannin. Loving the elusiveness of pinning down exactly what I'm tasting here and could see this being a versatile food wine. This time we paired with Lamb and veal meatballs with homemade rigatoni and a cramp burgogne style sauce with a. Heavy dose of thyme. — 9 years ago

I really like this. Its a bruiser, but doesn't feel over ripe. There are tar, tobacco, black cherry and citrus peel flavors . then the mouthfeel is rustic with medium but slightly grainy tannins. This in a good way. Great with an earthy rigatoni with Brussels sprouts.
Kind of an old school Carignan Petit Sirah blend but with more fruits. — 9 years ago

Drank 3/25/19. Paired with Rigatoni Bolognese.

Red cherry earth, and leather on the nose. Similar flavors on the palate, with some firm, but well integrated tannins. Sour cherry on the long finish.

I love Italian wines, but could not pick this from sangiovese if tasted blind. A nice chianti alternative.

3/21/8/3/4 + 50 = 89 pts.

A nice value at $17. — 6 years ago

Drank 3/31/18. Ok pairing with Rigatoni Bolognese and a whipped mascarpone.

More of an international style of sangiovese, blended with some french grapes. Red cherries earth and tobacco on the nose. Flavors of sweet red cherries and plums, with some spice and earth notes. Medium tannins. Big difference when this wine is cooled down to around 65 degrees. Much more lift and freshness.

Nice fruity yet complex italian, although i think there is better for around $25 — 7 years ago
