Medium garnet followed by a fruity nose dominated by cherries and raspberries along nettles and cinnamon. Judicious use of oak. Elegant and medium bodied on palate with punchy acidity cutting through soft and dusty dusty tannins. Not particularly complex with reasonable finish. Drink up.

Garnet with a fully developed leafy, nettle like nose of moderate intensity around a core of raspberries and white pepper. Not a lot of oak. Silky on palate with refreshing acidity lacking great freshness or fruit purity. For immediate consumption.

Initial Opening this is dark monster that comes across as out of balance. (not sure how anyone can call this wine light - its dark in color and flavor profile.) Screwtop as well FYI .
Don't recommend, but if you do order decant for hour if can

Glass pour at Piccolo Sogno. I loved this wine. Great depth and funk/fruit balance. A lot of polish to it. Lighter in body than the darker appearance suggests, but with excellent length and persistence. Beautiful.

A simple, light red that we had two bottles of at a Christmas party with a large group of friends. Worked well with a variety of foods.
