A tremendous value for a tasty, food friendly wine that has some "stuffing" to it. Deep garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is open with cherries, pomegranates, forest floor, slight earthiness and sandalwood. Medium to full bodied. Light to medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this is open and drinks easily. Flavors of cherries, dark cherries with some underlying earthiness. Good finish. This is nice on its own but better with food. It would be perfect with a plate of pasta or a pizza with tomato sauce. Drink over the next five years.

The nose is nice with dusty cherries, slight spice, leather and slight thyme. Medium body. Medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, flavors of cherries with a bit of dust. Good finish. This is drinking well now and should continue for another five to ten years.It is nice on its own but better with food. A great choice for Pizza nights but also a classic pairing with pasta.
A beautiful wine. Deep garnet in color with purple hues, opaque and bright. The nose is great with cherries, black cherries, sandalwood, tea leaves and cedar. Full bodied. Medium to firm tannins. On the palate, this is young-ish with good fruit and acidity. Flavors of cherries, black cherries, with some earthiness/forest floor notes. Complex and deep. It opens nicely in the glass. Long finish. If drinking soon, gives this a quick decant. This is nice on its own but better with food. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
This is 100% Merlot from Tuscany. Inky purple, ruby rim, opaque and bright. The nose is tight but opens with some air. Notes of Black cherries, cherries, milk chocolate and spice. Full bodied. Firm chewy tannins. A nice backbone of acidity. On the palate, flavors of black cherries, cherries, char and spice. As it opens some chocolate. Long finish. This is still young and although it drank well, its best days are ahead. No harm opening now, but ideally hold for five years and drink for fifteen years after that. This would go well with Pasta Bolognese (with Mushrooms).
