Ruby color with savory black cherry, tobacco, dried mushroom, and cedar aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, elegant, and well structured with with dusty tannins, and dried and backed black cherry, a hint of blueberry, vanilla and tobacco flavors with a lingering finish. Aerated for 90 minutes. This wine grew on me with each sip. 13 % alcohol Good value at $17

Deep garnet, with pronounced aromas of tea leaves, violets, plum, vanilla, and leather. High acidity, full bodied flavors of lavender, red cherry, cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. A long finish.

Winner winner. Textbook CC, with some ripeness showing through but good freshness and nice tannins - buona serra.
