Winery Review: 

-"
A blend of 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara this bright ruby red wine has hints of black cherry on the nose.  It is soft and fruit-forward, with black-fruit flavors followed by a bright and fresh finish. Serve it as the Italians do – young and lightly chilled. Pairs perfectly with fleshy fish, beef, lamb, red-sauced pastas and pizza."
 

My Review:


-87 Points
-This wine was very similar to the last in the fact that I wasn't overly impressed. On the nose, I got deep, dark fruits like cherries and hints of floral. To the taste, this wine was a little minty and almost earthy. However, there was no real defining flavor, mostly just bland and bitter. I tried this wine on its own without food.
