Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: A nice wine, however, the 2006 version was this brands best Rosso. The 2007 was noticeably lighter and this version is similar. Still a nice wine and somehow a little better than the 2007. I will definitely try it one more time to verify the consistancy.

Bere Viticcio Toscana 2007



Type: Toscanna (Red)
Year: 2007
Price: 13.99
Rating: 4 - Would definitely buy again
Where Bought: Sendik's Brookfield
Comments: I am more and more pleasantly surprised by the wines which categories into the standard "red" category. On many occasions have I experienced a nice full bodied smooth wine. This one is no exception. Bere has put out a very smooth, full bodied red wine. I look forward to trying it again, to see if it maintains its quality consistantly. A very nice wine.

Blackstone Merlot 2008



Type: Merlot
Year: 2008
Price: 9.99
Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: Very similar to its Cabernet Sauvignon counterpart, a very smooth and nice bottle of wine. I cannot definitively say if its as good as its Cabernet, so for now, I'll provide a rating of 3. I would definitely purchase one more time. Perhaps I should try a taste comparison next time. If I do, I'll definitely post the results. However, for now, standing on its own merit, a very nice inexpensive bottle of wine.
