Medium ruby. Pronounced lactic aromas along with red cherry, plum and coffee. Medium to light bodied with a vegetal feel. Diluted with a short aftertaste. Very simple.

Pizza na casa do Bentinho : Already evolved. Balanced, medium body, good complexity, well structured. Very good with a pizza!

Better than I expected. Fun wine, with big plum and pepper flavors. No detailed notes but I was impressed for $12.

Last third of the bottle on day 2. A sweet berry nose. The nose reflects the palate with a smooth yet pleasently dry finish. As far as this wine it's finish is a bit smoother and seamless than other wines at this price point. They know what they are doing here

Bien fait, des odeurs de noix de coco, de petits fruits. Agréable en bouche et s’harmonise bien avec une pizza toute garnie.

This is a crowdpleaser. Superbly ballanced with a lot of juicy blue fruits and violets upfront. Simple, but tasty. This was ordered by someone else at the restaurant and I was surprised that this is a $15 bottle. Drinks above its pricepoint. On my list of party wines to buy.

A good unpretentious Sangiovese-merlot blend. Not a lot of intensity on the nose. If you're looking for bold flavors this is not the case. I would still note the wine had a nice balance to it.

I was not impressed at all by this wine...tart flavors and had no depth and complexity. Pass!

Good fruit taste with a short finish. Tasted young but I don't think it can age much. An easy drink.

mid dark, clear - just ok. nose: some dark fruits, powder. taste: easydrinking, a little bit too sweet, dark fruits - plums, later unstoned cherries. Below expectations.

Nice soft red, good drinking now. Quite long with red currant and ripe cherries. Tannins still hanging in there, current level of acidity hints at this wine having a couple of more years in front of it.
