Notes of dark cherry, blackberry, and a touch of cedar and tobacco. I popped the cork and started drinking it kept on opening and getting better with air. At the BH. — 4 days ago

Very nice with blackberry, spice and cola. Nice long finish. Not sure if it would be better with more age or was better younger. — 8 days ago

This was NV and purchased back in the 90s. Was going to a Southern Italian Themed meal and bought this for dessert. Showed no signs of age and was loaded with cherries and chocolate with a great finish. We easily finished the bottle. At Anthony’s in HH — a month ago

Nose of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals with notes of baking spice and forest floor. Taste to light to medium-bodied with nice acidity with juicy red berries, cranberry, and a hint of earthiness. At the BH — 4 days ago

Did a bit of research on this wine since I was bringing it to an Apulia themed dinner at Anthony’s in HH. This grape was once nearly extinct and happily its back. There was a lot of black and red berries and some licorice. Nice finish and a structured wine. — 25 days ago

9.2

I ended up purchasing this wine from the winery due to an ordering snafu but now very happy I did. I was a bit surprised that this wine is totally living up to its promise and justified its cost. Just popped the cork and got hit with rich blackberry‑jam and black‑plum aromas with some cooking spices. Taste had flavors of black‑raspberry jam and clove with a tangy, spicy long finish. — 6 days ago
