I love this wine but it seems a bit sweeter tonight. Probably should have served it before the tannic Nebbiolo.

Wonderful pungent barnyard nose. Medium-bodied with a finish that keeps going. Nice.

Savory and spicy. Black cherry, black pepper, leather, hints of violet. Soft tannins. Stunner

Rich tobacco flavors come through when drinking a la carte. Pairs well with rich fatty meats like the crown roast we had for Christmas dinner.

Bright happy cherries - backbone of savory herbs. An almost creamy texture. Really lovely and easy.
