Deep garnet color. Black fruit, tobacco, and violets on the nose. Wine is full bodied and dry. Notes of raisin, dark cherry, plum, tar, and anise on the palate.
Light tannins, medium alcohol, medium acidity. Finish is medium length. A touch past prime but still drinkable. This wine paired well with grilled bison burgers. Looking forward to future vintages.

Dirty brownish red. Strawberry jam, ground cloves, and leather nose. Medium bodied, raspberries, bing cherries, well integrated sweet tannins, baking spices, good acid, and a medium to long finish. Not real complex, but very easy to like.

What an impressively complex, deep, and ethereally rich wine for $15! Nicely evolved due to the ripasso technique, the Secoli smells of dried flowers and fruit that will drink well for at least another five years. I like that there is no oak influence here. Drink by winter, 2023. Incorrectly listed as an Amarone here on CT. Just picked up three bottles of the '14.

Beautiful, earthy dark fruits, Asian spice, balanced and food friendly. Great dinner party wine that everyone will love.
