70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Sangiovese
Cherry, currants, smoke, rose and tar, Asian spice, and some savory notes. Elegant and bright on the palate, citrus and red fruits, juicy and fresh acidity. Medium bodied and a medium grain tannic structure.

Medium to dark garnet. In the nose, granite, dark cherries, raspberries. In the mouth, same dark bitter cherries. Medium acidity. Finish is medium to medium long. Tannins are nicely resolved.

Better than expected. Light bodied with strawberry elements. Almost like a Morgon. Solid for the price point on a restaurant menu, but not really my style.
