Drank 6/28/18

Light nose of red cherry and a touch of earth. Flavors of sweet and sour red cherries with some light leathery notes. Fairly simple and a little bit too fruit forward for my tastes, although many would enjoy this. A simple everyday drinker, though lacking a little depth and complexity.

I think JS went 92 pts on this (What?!) I don't understand this but definitely cannot complain at the $8 price point (Costco). A good value simple italian red.

2/21/7/3/3 + 50 = 86 pts

Dry, full bodied. Good on its own or with classic Italian food.

Full bodied wine. Dark ripe fruit flavor. Long dry finish. Nice price for a very decent wine. Will buy more to age a few years.
