Delicious red that was consumed alongside the 2009 and while this was tasty, I much more preferred the 2009 over the 2010. The 2010 has a tar, leather, blackberry and red currant smell with a little bit of cellar floor. It is on the medium to high acidic level with large legs. It has strong acidity immediately when tasting and then you are greeted with the blackberry and red current flavor but it isn't super strong to overshadow the acid. There is spice and it has a velvet texture. Recommend pairing with short rib ravioli.

It was a delicious red that we consumed along side the 2010. It smells like blackberry, raspberry, cherry and light toast with clove and spice on the nose. There was no sediment in the bottle and there were medium/small legs. At the beginning the taste is of clove, rosemary and a little spice that subsides to a silky smooth blackberry and cherry and red currant flavor with a hint of light toast. The clove and spice kicks in nicely at the end to have a nice flavor journey. A low acidity and the silky texture, with a full body complex flavor makes it a favorite. We consumed with pappardelle pasta with lamb slow- braised in red wine and tomato sauce, and short rib ravioli. It went very well with the pappardelle pasta with lamb.

The wine looks garnet colored and has fast legs. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry with some earthiness. It tastes like blackberry, raspberry, black pepper and after it opens up a little you can find some cherry notes. The body is light and smooth - nothing too overpowering. With a short finish and low acidity it is great pairing with Turkish dishes, and other food that has some flavor already but you need an easy sipping / subtle wine to pair. Could benefit from additional aging.
