Outstanding value. This wine retails for $15 and is outstanding. Light ruby in color. The nose has cherries with slight minerals and slight tea. On the palate, it shows more sour cherries with great acidity. Would certainly work better with food. Ligh tannins. Good finish. I don't think this will age a long time but it should last a few years. Very nice.
This is a staple at Trader Joe's (at least my local store). For under $20, it is hard to find a less expensive Amarone. The only problem is that it really doesn't taste like an Amarone. At least not like the better ones that have eanred this area's reputation. That said, it is a good solid wine that if it had been labelled Valpolicella I might have said it a fine value. Ruby in color. The nose has cherries and slight dark cherries. The fruit carries over to the palate. Nothing dried or rasin about this. Good acdity. A solid wine.
