This is a still, dry, red wine, ruby-colored, fading to pink at the edges. It is of middleweight with medium to low acidity. Nose of walnuts and fresh rubber tires. Opening notes of cherry and chocolate. Middle tones include a slight, interesting hint of bitter black pepper. (Is this the bourbon barrel oakiness?) Delightfully long finish that suggests soda water and lemon. Remarkable complexity for a mid-weight red. I served it with spaghetti and meat sauce and sautéed spinach, and the match was perfect.

Read Carolinius tasting more. Spot on. Although I wouldn’t give it quite as high a rating. Be sure to let breathe well after opening.
