Dianthus drinks like a red wine. Scented with whiffs of strawberry and raspberry, a bold palate of pepper and cranberry, somewhat like a light pinot noir.
Made the mistake of serving this too cold and did not pair it well with the appetizer (pepper coated cashew nuts). Dianthus strikes me emphatically as a food wine, best served at about 50-60 F and more suited to fall-winter-spring fare than lighter summer fare. 88-90

Last bottle, great balance, medium body, good fruit, drank easily with halibut tacos with guacamole, pineapple, plantains, refried beans etc, finished with Chez Panisse blueberry cobbler, on to the next vintage.

Wine has settled down, medium body, good balance, not too acidic, good fruit, one more bottle to go, drank with clams with black bean sauce and veggies and pork buns.
