Bright ruby garnet. Bosomy nose of tart black cherry and patent leather. This is echoed on the palate with firm medium plus tannins and bright medium plus acidity… perfect for food. Cherry tar finish. Such a solid example and it's not even a Riserva.

Fair warning: My 1st vineyard experience may cloud this rating. This is a light bodied, medium tannin wine best served with cheese like guyere or parmegiana. Flavors of plum, strawberry, tart cherry, smoky tobacco and clove hit the palate. Very smooth mouthfeel with a nice finish. Very flavorful for an old world wine.
