...well-made, serious, bistro/trattoria-styled wine with loads of berry fruit and some hints of fresh tobacco interwoven with licorice, pepper, and roasted herbs. The wine has excellent texture, medium to full body, and no hard edges.
Powerfully scented aroma of ripe dark berries underscored by smoky mocha and clove. Creamy cassis and cherry flavors are firmed by fine-grained tannins and sweetened by a seductive cocoa powder quality that extends through the finish.
