Vintage Cellar Review: The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the mouth the wine is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by hints of damp earth. If you like Sangiovese-based wines like Chianti or our best-selling Colsanto from Umbria, you'll love this! The wine is ripe, fresh, and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the end. Buy it by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta.
My Review: This very dark red wine had a floral nose with hints of rose petals. However, it also gave me hints of aromas that I tend to associate with fairly dry wines. When I tasted it, there seemed to be lots of raspberry elements to the flavor. It was better than I was expecting, but not my favorite. A little bit difficult for me to drink.
