Dark ruby color turning violet at the rim with a transparent edge. The nose has a hint of the powder that wraps chewing gum, currants, earth, and dried herbs. The palate is quite amiable, easy-going, but full-bodied with a silky/velvety texture. Flavors of dark cherry, currant, graphite, smoked oak, and vanilla glide through a layered, complex experience. Finishes long and supple with hints of menthol. Drink now until 2023.

Floral, spiced, black cherry and nice power on the nose. Dark brambles on the palate with black cherry extract, delicious acidity, fennel, dusty tannins, and good balance. The finish has some length, showing cedar, dried herbs and meat, and a little heat.

The nose showed intense black cherry with a dusting of sweet spice and purple and blue floral tones with an earthy, mineral core. On the palate it was velvety and rich with ripe dark fruits, yet juicy throughout, showing off it’s brisk Sangiovese acidity. Notes of plum, cocoa, spiced apple and lavender, all made an appearance and lasted through the finish, with silky tannins, which were nearly imperceptible. This wine was suave and poised, with just enough structure to keep me coming back for more.

Outstanding with a vegatable tomato sauce over farfalle pasta.
