Poured with an inky purple color indicative of a younger wine. A nose with lots of cherry, raspberry. Opened after about 30 minutes to add some floral notes and a hint of cocoa. For an overlooked varietal, this is at or close to a peak.

Popped and poured. Cork was composite material which struck me as odd. Color was dark, deep purple. Nose has soft aromas of rose petals and raspberry. Texture is silky smooth with a wonderful integration of flavors. I forgot how much I love this varietal especially from Summers. We enjoyed with freshly sliced tomatoes and mozzarella, but this would drink very well by itself. Delicious ! 5,12,16,7=90
