I seem to be stuck in a spot drinking wines that are fine for the moment but not very memorable. This wine fits that description. It opened as a medium weight wine with a nose of ripe cherry and spice. The initial mouth feel was slightly tannic dominated by cherry, a bit of earthiness, and some pepper. The finish was short and fairly one dimensional. The bottle drank well with a plate of cheese and salami, minestrone soup and salad. It never really opened up more and there was a fair amount of sediment that I think may have affected the taste after the initial few glasses. Not sure where this goes from here but I would probably consume in the next year or two. Cheers, be healthy and drink well.

Dark, brambly fruit and a long, tannic finish. I have one more bottle that I will lay down for a couple more years.

Deep ruby color. Aromas of brambly fruits and peppery spice. Medium bodied on the palate, juicy with good presence and length.

This is a little overdone with a slightly gummy texture. Tasty dark fruits but could really use less weight and more freshness.
