Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Mocha-rich nose with dark berries and plums. A dark chocolate finish with full-bodied, supple layers of flavor.

Dan Trcka rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Any wine that I have tasted from the well known Marchesi De Frescobaldi winery has been outstanding, this one being no exception. This smooth, aromatic, light bodied wine, found in the general section of the LCBO (107276), has integrated scents of vanilla, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, bilberry and pine. The tannins are refined to tannic (open for 30 min to 1 hr) and the finish is medium to long. This wine can age easily for the next 10 years with each year softening its tannins. If you are a tannins fan then drink now, otherwise put away for couple of years. My impression: NICE to BEAUTIFUL. Tasted Mar/10.
Oscar Perez rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Good light wine to start. Table wine. Versatile not strong finish.
