Shop 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 wine was a beautiful deep red. It looked a lot like grape juice. The aroma given off was of plastic and cloves, with a slight reminder of cow manure. Even with such a horrid reminder, it was not a bad smell. The initial taste made me think of berry compote. More of the plastic component came out in the finish, and it had an earthy kind of feel. The finish dry, but the wine was pretty good and I would probably drink it again. Was not paired with any food.
