  Great value. Red berry and cherry notes with an easy finish. Slight minerality on finish with a hint of iron. A nice table wine.

  N: Cherries, slightly herbal (sage?), old black pepper, leathery and dark
  P: Drier than my elbows during winter, dark fruit, slight acidity
  F: Tart cherries, acidic, medium finish, earthy.
  
  Wasn't feeling the wine in the beginning, but when I paired it with my frozen pepperoni pizza - this wine just sung.
  
  Sidenote - cooking the pizza in my cast iron pan was a pretty good move. I preheated my cast iron with a touch of bacon fat on the stove before adding the pizza. The bottom turned out crispy as hell.
