Supple and forward, just the way a good rosso should be, with cherry and tobacco aromas and flavors backed up by a plump mouthfeel and a long, softly tannic finish. Good value.——W.E.(3/1/2005)—— 88

Smoky and tight, with a hint of lemony oak on the nose. The palate bursts with ripe cassis, cherry and tannin, while later on you get a smack of cough drop as the red fruit unfolds. This is ripe as all get-out, a firm, chewy specimen for sure.——M.S.(11/15/2003)—— 90
