Dark ruby/burgundy colour; almost opaque. Pretty nose of kirsch, plums, alcohol, violets, and crushed currants. Medium-bodied, good acidity typical of the varietal, showing crushed red fruit - plums and currants - on the palate. Short finish, ~15-20s, with red fruit. Better on the nose than on the palate. Needs food.

Leather, golden raisins, a little oak, and sticky tannins. I liked this with pizza, but not as much by itself. At $15 I'll buy something else first. A decent wine, but I'm not compelled to get more.

Better than the last bottle, this one had a nose of tobacco... tannins and alcohol and fruit in better balance.
Nothing wonderful to note.

This was a very pleasant wine with some good earthiness. Consumed with ravioli in pesto sauce.
