Monday, May 9, 2016 - Inama Wine Dinner (Fiola Mare - Washington, DC): Smells of spicy pepper, clove, tobacco and eucalyptus on top of red plums. Smooth but structured tannins, tart acidity, spicy black cherry fruit on the palate. I love the spice and herbal complexities of this wine (clove, anise, eucalyptus, pepper, bay leaf). This entry-level red is a screamer at $20. This is such a versatile and downright fun wine that I'd love to see on some by-the-glass lists. 70% Carmenere and 30% Merlot aged 12 months in old French oak.
