Lovely. Some berry with plum and ripe strawberry but not overpowering fruit. Good acidity and some remaining tannins. Complex but not crazy and stood up to calabrian and roast green chilis. Good fruit on initial palate followed by good acidity in the middle with a long and lingering acidic blackberry/raspberry finish. Very good indeed. Still life and complexity to give.

This wine was late Springtime in a glass - a beautiful boquet of just bloomed flowers and plent of berry to go along with it - really delicious, not quite plump dark berries yet soft. LIngering finish, This bottle went down way too easily

Wow - fruit on this is spectacular. Very deep, almost pomegranite.

This was actually quite good. I don't even remember where I got the bottle, perhaps the Franciscan wine club.
