Good value. Mediterranean warmth of black fruit with a sweet hint, yet it remains fresh

Jul 10th, 2020Simple red wine, easy to drink, but gave me a headache after two glasses, so not sure if I would get it again.

Jun 8th, 2020Nose: cherry cola, wet tobacco, black and blue fruits, Luxardo cherries, raw steak (blood)
Palate: solid acidity (after 1 hour in decanter, MUCH less before it had time to open), black cherries, baker's chocolate, crushed red pepper, espresso

Quite delicious. Nicely balanced fruit, terroir and complexity for the price.

Mar 29th, 2020Beautiful nose with full fruit forward. Black cherry, spice and balanced tannins. Perfect for meats and pasta.

Oct 30th, 2019Really unique wine - stone fruit forward, and it smells smoky and has barbecue notes! Fairly tannic, and acidic!
