Dark, smooth, full bodied, very good on its own and went well with a red sauce meal.

$13 @ Costco makes this my new favorite CC. Very well done, no rough edges, such great defined flavors & aromas: early season cherries, violets, sweet soil, cracked white pepper & minerals. Lovey balance & harmony.
