This wine is medium dark garnet in the glass. The nose has a good supply of cherry and raspberry notes, dusted up with earth, tar and anise. The palate has a bit of licorice on it, but mainly serves as a showcase for the red fruit. There are some spicy elements, too. White pepper, nutmeg, and a very light clove sense brighten up the fruit. Tannic structure is firm and acidity refreshing. I had mine with a slow cooker red wine short rib dish, and the pairing was sublime.

Simple and so good right now. Just wanted to have something Italian to go with our meal and this fit the bill.

Nothing special, but drinkable. A cherry, some earthy notes.

Armageddon, if the asteroid was a giant flaming cherry. Bruce Willis sneaks a case of this on board before liftoff.

Medium ruby in color. Cherries, raspberries, and maybe a hint of wet slate on the nose. Medium to light bodied, with lots of acidity. Tastes like cranberries, sour cherries, and some type of herb. Medium finish. Great with Italian food!

A little herbal for me, with smoke, cherry, tobacco, and rhubarb.

Nice versatile wine, good with the pork osso bucco and the short ribs.
