  Unfortunately at this point like watered down cherry juice, highly acidic. Another lesson learned on not keeping bottles of wine that are attractive because they are fresh and juicy on release for another 4-5 years...

  3/28/2017 - Tony Molester Does not like this wine:

  High toned acidity, very unlikeable...avoid although I generally enjoy the wines from Birichino.

  Agree with Venice CA's 6/2015 notes completely. Interesting wine focused on old vine Cinsault. The length and finish surprised me too. Fun but I don't need to drink this very frequently. Paid $19 for one btl and worth checking out.

  Decanted 1 hr. ahead. Medium ruby-garnet color, with purple flashes. Nice but shy nose of white pepper, red fruit, rhubarb, and spice notes. Light body on the palate, with a bright, lifted texture led by cherry flavors and spice. Acid balance is not tart, but nearly so; refreshing is a good way to say it. The finish is longer than you might expect for wine this light, as the drying notes prolong into very low tannins. Good, light-bodied, not too challenging. Completely pleasant.
