Not bad. We think it's Nebbiolo, based on the purple-y hue, high acidity, and tart cherry taste. Also the description of a grape that 'thrives in foggy hills of Northern Italy'. Paired with:
1st course= honey roasted pumpkin ravioli in a butter-sage sauce
2nd course = duck fennel sausage over kale and cranberry harvest grain medley.....

Cherries, earth, and leather on the nose. BIG tart cherries up front for a medium-bodied wine with pleasant acidity, then gamey meats across the middle. Puts me in the mind of a venison loin served with a cherry gastrique. Some tannins at the back until the wine opens after about 20mins, then a finish that lingers with more dark red fruit and leather.
