About the Wine: The recent trend in Super Tuscans and other non traditional Italian red blends has been toward Sangiovese and Merlot blends. A particular winner in that category is a wine called PHI, which many people say is under priced at $45 a bottle and that high end stores routinely sell out of. Is this a knock off or a quality off brand?
About THIS Wine: The center is a deep red with a pink rim. Raspberries are prominent on the nose with strong hints of smoke and oak. The fruit delivers on a strikingly dry palate with a fairly nice cherry finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is really not a sipping wine. It is good for pasta and red sauce (a personal favorite) or a meaty pizza.
Overall Impression: There is nothing spectacular here but the juice is good and the price is fair. This one is reasonable for the price.
