Top Notes For

9.2

This wine is medium dark garnet in color. The nose is full of brambly cherry and raspberry aromas laced with spice and oak. The palate is fruity and spicy with a generous supply of tannic grip. A long finish carries a bit of sweetness along after the sip. Great with a meat sauce pasta or with sweet Italian sausages.

Good for a weeknight with pasta. Solid budget pick. Get it again when you see it.

Bright and cheerful. Well balanced - smooth but good acidity in the mix. Morello cherry and marzipan tones.
