Not complex like a Brunello d Montepulciano. Very little of what you'd expect like dark fruits, tabacco, etc. This is very light, good acidity. I'm hoping some age will help add complexity.

Oregon Wine Country Tasting (Willamette Valley, OR): Paired with Ribollita (a bean soup with olive oil and homemade croutons). This was just bottled, according to the winemaker. Lots of black cherry and strawberry flavors, with lots of acid and some drying tannins. Fruit is from the first certified VCR6 clone (used primarily in Brunello wines) planting in the US. Will be interesting to see how this develops with age. Still showing its infancy now.
