sorry for the lack of posts lately. lots of travel happening at the baldwinegeek house, but that does lead to trying some different wines, like this italian red. i enjoyed this with some home-made lasagna. an excellent food wine that sells for about $10 a bottle, this has a nose of black cherry, leather and earth. the palate was young and a bit tight but opened nicely with flavors of cherry and tobacco, with some floral notes of violets and nice, long finish. i would recommend picking up a couple bottles at this price. a nice, every day red.

I found this wine a lot less appealing but perhaps that's because I didn't eat it with lasagna . . .I quoted your review on my blog today.
thanks for your comments Gourmez. The earthy leathery wines don't appeal to everyone. Just happens to be one style I like. That why wine is so much fun…everyone can like something different.
