Decanted 1 hour. Light ruby in color. Strawberry rhubarb pie in a glass. A hypothetical mix of pinot noir and sangiovese. Light and enjoyable. Very surprising for the price! Drink now.

Ruby and clear. Nose is smokey with earth and licorice. Berries and acid on the palate. Bordeaux like up to the mid palate. Acid and berries take over. Good with tomato based pasta.

Shared bottle with Uwe at Enoteca Maria. Medium ruby red and clear with red/dark berries and smoke on the nose. Palate was smoky with red and dark berries and hint of liquorice, with moderate balancing acidity. Tannins were moderate and this drank rather smooth. A very interesting wine and would probably be $20ish retail if it could be found. Found this to be good with food but enjoyed it more as a sipper and thinker.

Interesting flavor profile of cherries, plums and olives. Goes away a bit mid-sip, though.
