“This is a simple wine, yet very interesting, just right for summer sipping.  Light aromas of cherry; flavors tending toward cherry and bright red fruit; fresh, light and medium-bodied.  Not complicated, but pleasant.”

"Hello blueberries and cream! Though essentially limited to these two notes, boy are they fun. Get this Italian Merlot and sip it sans food or with mild chicken dishes or mild cheeses."   ***+

"Beautiful red fruit aromas, with a hint of strawberry and oak. Flavors of dried fruit and slightly tart with soft tannins into the pleasant finish."

"...from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, has good fruit flavors and a rich barrel complexity. The wine is easy on the palate, with clean structure. It should appeal to a large percentage of value wine drinkers."

"Pleasantly aromatic, with rich, ripe berries and earthy tones. Light bodied, with mild flavors of herbs, dark fruits and a hint of cedar; mildly tannic finish."

	- Santé - July/August 2000

"Deep plummy nose, smoky oak with spicy undernote; layered fruit with big tannins, good texture, lingering fruit flavors; long balanced finish."   ***
