  Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - color: bright purple-ruby; nose: barnyard cherry -- nice (wine's best feature)!; taste: thin mouth feel, sour cherries, earthy-tangy pomegranite short-to-medium finish with tasty but chalky tannins; overall: decent QPR ($12), pleasant Old World rustic style, but I'm unlikely to buy this one again as it's not the style I seek out

  Saturday, July 24, 2010 - Harsh nose with burnt toast. lack on the fruit on the palate, acidic and light. Little to enjoy here. I'm a fan of value priced Italian wines, but won't be searching this out again.

  Saturday, April 17, 2010 - Decent quaffer. Candied fruit up front with some drying tannins on the finish. Nice balance with good acidity. Simple and easy drinking.

  Friday, February 26, 2010 - Picked this up as a bottle to use in an Osso Buco recipe and held a little aside for the cook. Tart cherries, pomegranate, herbs and earth, with really high acidity - should pair pretty well with the meat.
