Winery Review: "A Chianti style blend, easy to drink and light bodied with soft tannic structure. It is a modern style light wine accompanied with fruit and vanilla flavors. Perfect to serve with your favorite Italian meal, barbeque chicken, and tomato based dishes. Good pizza wine too!"
My Review: Our tasting guide told us that this was a "beginner red" because it was so soft and pleasant. This had nice spicy aromas. It was very soft and silky on the mouth. It was slightly spicy and had hints of dark red fruits, but the two were very well balanced. I can't see anyone not liking this wine because it was like extremely pleasant and well balanced. Like our tasting guide had mentioned, I feel as though even those not into red wines would enjoy this. Definitely worth the price for such a pleasant wine. Most all of the reds from this winery lacked the annoying alcoholic taste that cheaper grocery store wines have.
