A little bit disappointed with this Nebbiolo-based wine. Very thin and limited complexity with too much acidity. Not worth the $30. Tasted October 2017.

Great, smooth, oaky full-bodied Cab. Paired well with BBQ meat but you can drink on its own as well. Tasted June 2013.

Ruffino Il Ducale 2012, Tuscany

$19.95

Nice every day Italian wine, but I wouldn't call it a "Super" Tuscan, even though it is 55% Sangiovese, 25 Shiraz and 20% Merlot. Tasted April 2016.

Easy to drink (fine tannins) but limited length & complexity. Good for pizza night but not for a refined holiday dinner. Better on the next day. Tasted December 2016.

Typical full-bodied, smooth Shiraz Aussie-style with good length but a little bit too hot to deserve a higher score. Tasted January 2013.
