TEDESCHI |
| Deep intense purple colour. Intense, attractive, very gently smoky, mocha-chocolate-tinged nose with lots of spicy, black cherry notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, intense, bright, spicy, intense, ripe, plum-cherry flavours with a fairly crisp, slightly smoky, lingering, mocha-chocolate-tinged finish that has a faint hint of key lime pie. Ready-to-drink. At the price, this is the #1 best buy red of the release. This very tasty blend of 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 10% four other varieties has a hefty 14% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number 2016 L5 on the back label. This 2016 carries on nicely from the recommended best buy 2015 (***) that was last released on May 26, 2018 at $17.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BEST BUY - Cedary, spicy, blackberry nose with vanilla oak notes; medium-bodied, dry, juicy, black cherry flavour carried on lively acidity. |

A Best Buy |
| A complex blend of local Venetian grapes matured in Slavonian oak, this wine is always popular with Vintages customers. Look for mocha, espresso, black olive and cherry aromas and flavours in a chiselled, precise frame. The Tedeschi family suggests pairing this with hearty soups, pasta, Mediterranean cuisine and white or red meats. |
