This wine is a dark indigo in the glass. The nose features abundant black and blue berry aromas, earthy minerality and black pepper. The palate has plenty of that dark fruit, along with a savory streak of tar. The tannins are quite firm, even after the bottle was open for a day. Acidity adds brightness that counterpoints the dark flavors. The finish is long and savory. I used it in making a short rib stew, but enjoyed it more when I paired it with the dish.
