Cherry, berry, cranberry, violet notes. Boring, but balanced and good.

Very nice blend with plenty of fruitiness, a hint of smoke and excellent finish. 2019 vintage

My go-to red blend. Well-balanced combination of flavors that goes with anything, but also tastes great on its own. Dry, sweet, and tart, all in one great wine. One of my favorite wines to have on hand.

Super Tuscan Blend (85 Sangiovese, 10 Cab Sauv And 5 Merlot). Ripe tart cherry and cranberry aromas and flavors. Hints of purple flowers. Finish is dominated with notes of chocolate. Earthy with nicely balanced acidity. Excellent food wine and outstanding QPR! Revisited in November 2013. Still good.

This is one of the best inexpensive Sangiovese blends I’ve ever had. Fruity and very good with cheese and pasta. This is a good one to keep around.
