I prefer lighter reds. The sour flavor (the cherry?) is too strong for me. This one has gotten great reviews, though.

This was a delicious dry red wine. A bit of bite, some tannins, but it really wasn't too harsh. I loved the complexity of the flavor; different things were going on during each part of the tasting, and there was a very pleasant roundness that lingered to smooth off the stronger initial flavors. A wine steward friend of mine has suggested that this wine will be even just a bit nicer in a year or two, so I may pick up a bottle to keep around.

Terrific Stuff. Good dark Fruit, full body, well balanced. Not too intense and loads of drinkable fun. Another good spaghetti and meatball wine can be found for little $. My local shop seems to have run out so buy it while you can.

I decanted this for 1 hour before drinking. Briar and earth on the nose with some black fruits. Cherry and spice on the palate first, followed by a rush of tannin with green vegetal tones on the mid palate, missing a bit here. Body is in the medium weight range. The finish lingers with a bit of heat. Not sure about the alcohol in this one but it feels hot. Mild oak influence. Definitely a decent quality Sangiovese, and a no brainier in qpr. Italian reds for under 10 bucks are almost always a dissapointment or worse. This one bucks the trend.

Found a bottle of the 2004 vintage of this wine and popped and poured with my Pizza dinner. This confirmed that I liked the 2004 better than the 2005. Classic Sangiovese profile, with good cherry fruit up front. Dry with nice acidty mid pallette and a smooth though not overly long finish. Great QPR

For the value, you can't beat this Sangiovese. Light flavor and complexity, but easy drinking and ultra-complimentary to pizza and simple red sauce pasta. Just a hint of violet on the nose. A house favorite for under $10.
