Community Tasting Note

  May 16, 2012 - Deep garnet, bricking observable during decant. Woody, barrel smell (not fresh oak, maybe used?), blending into unique earthy fruit aroma (not familiar with this grape). First sips were like the nose and a little bit astringent even though the wine had good body. However, when paired with lasagna it became apparent that this is a wine meant to be paired with food, and not so bad! The centered earthiness cut thru and offset nicely the food flavors.
