Very easy to drink. Beautifully balanced. Not robust enough on its own. A good dinner wine.

Intense aromas of plum, black cherry and raisin with earthy and oregano undernotes. Smooth, velvety and round mouthfeel, as a hint of earthiness and gameyness comes as a pleasant surprise. The Ripasso method adds subtle Amarone-like sweetness and richness. It's a great wine for this price point.

Cherry forward, smooth yet bold. Similar to pint noir, slightly more spice forward
