This is still a youngster. There is a lot of fruit in the nose and taste. Not a fruit bomb. Great food wine. Long finish and medium mouth feel. Tannins are still noticeable, but fairly soft.

lots of dark fruits, almost meaty but not quite, love the moreishness and the easygoing nature, I'm thinking a touch of minerals in there somewhere, but if so it's integrated to just make the fruit interesting and guzzilicious, had with heavily-spiced (in the sauce) pizza and it was magic, awesome deal, house fave

V. deep color. Ripe, spicy, black cherry, currant, mace, star anise and grilled meat. Sweet on entry with subtle vanilla turning to vibrant red cherry and spice at mid. Medium length but the flavors and spice sustain for a long time on the front and mid. This could use more length but is a fun, deeply flavored wine that falls somewhere between the Rhone and Tuscany in style.

Nice food wine. Much better than we expected from a wine at this price. Long finish. Soft tannins.
