- Dark maroon in color. The nose is spicey with some green pepper, light vanilla and red fruits. Medium acidity with medium weight tannins. Green pepper from the cabernet sauvignon comes though with cherry flavors. Simple and light the structure is soft and balanced though not a heavily fruit forward wine. 3/5 [NR]

- Dep reddish purple. The nose show's green and black pepper, with some smokey chocolate, and deep red cherry fruit. Fine tannins in the mouth with a strong acidity at first that gives way to rich layered flavors of black pepper, anise, wood and chocolate. As it opens this wine is all fruit and spice, rich cherries, blackberries and more. 3.5/5 [NR]

- Pronounced notes of chocolate and minty, sweet cherries. Rich, balanced round tannins. Sweet juicy fruit and well integrated.

- Rivola is brilliant ruby in color with violet highlights. On the nose, the wine is fresh and generously fruity, with impressions of ripe raspberries, strawberries and wild cherries offset by notes of jasmine, spice and mint. The fragrance is confirmed on the palate, which is mellow, fresh and succulent, supported by clean, subtle, sweetly ripe tannins ending in a silky, elegant finish.
