Purple in color. The nose has some black raspberries and spice. On the palate, this is solid. Not a ton of depth. Some tart boysenberry flavors. Mild tannins. Finishes slightly hot. Again, a solid wine if the price is right.
This seems to be a bit over the hill. That said, it has enough to suggest that it was probably a nice wine a few years ago. Ruby/purple in color. Cherries and dried cherries on the nose. Medium bodied. On the palate, cherries and dried cherries. Slightly oxidized perhaps. Nice finish. It would be interesting to try a newer vintage of this.
Light green gold in color. The nose has minerals, limes and slight steely notes. On the palate, this is easy drinking. Minerals and slight citrus. Nice texture with good acidity. Clean. Good with food. Around $7 per bottle is hard to beat.
This is under $10 per bottle so it is a fair value. Purple in color. The nose has dark cherries and slight hay notes. On the palate, this is a bit sweet with black cherry fruit. Easy drinking. Enough acidity to work with food. Clean. Nice for a party or Italian bistro. Casual fun.
This sells for about $7. It certainly is an excellent value at that price. A nice wine to order at a local Italian restaurant or buy for a party. Ruby/purple in color. The nose is clean with raspberries, and light black cherries. Slight tea leaves. On the palate, this is crisp and clean. Cherried. Nary a tannin. Dry but a perception of sweetness. Good acidity. Works with food.
What a nice way to end a meal. This is drinking great right now. Deep golden in color. The nose has honey, apricots and a floral note. Really pretty. It is sweet and bumps up against cloying but there is enough acidity to manage it. Deep and compled. Long finish. Such a pretty wine. A little goes a long way. Fantastic.
Excellent wine and in a young, but good place right now. It does have a decade or two left. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose has dust, cassis, cherries, slight sandalwood and cigar box. On the palate, this drinks like a riper Bordeaux wine. Dark cherries, cassis, slight earthy funk. Great texture, almost seamless. Long finish. This is a very pretty feminine wine but certainly hasw all the structure it needs. Great wine.
This is a big wine for sure. I suspect it will be a love it or hate it kind of wine. Inky purple in color. The nose has dusty dark cherries, plums and chocolate and spice. On the palate this is jammy with a lot of fruit. Dark cherries and black raspberries. Some spice showing. It is really all about sweet fruit right now. Delicious and enjoyable. Not the best food pairing but great on its own. Having had past vintages, I think it will settle down but if you don't like it young, you won't like it older. If you do, its got a decade left.
Purple in color. The nose is dusty with cassis and cranberries. Very soft on the palate. Some depth. Nice tart cranberry and raspberry fruit. Easy drinking. Little tannins. A solid wine but I would drink these up.
Ruby/purple in color. The nose is nice with dark cherries, black raspberries and cigar. On the palate, soft dark cherries with good acidity. Tight layering that unwinds in the glass. Lovely texture. Nice finish. Worked well with food. While not quite as good as the Maria Teresa, it is also one third the price. This will probably improve a bit in the cellar and certainly has a nice decade or two left.
