Drinking Italian during an English and Spanish final.

Perfectly aged. Great vintage. Great memories from this winery 16 years ago.

Love. Black cherries, savory, earth. Tart balance. Not cheap, but a great value.

No question that when the right wine is aged to the right point, there’s nothing better. What an experience it was to.. first, go to this winery in 2008 and meet the people the run it, and then drink this beauty in 2024 and relive that magic while enjoying the poetry inside the bottle.

This wine pours a beautiful red purple and is somewhat clear. Great flavors of dried cherries, raspberries, and the hint of oak. Decent tannins and a nice finish.. The wine paired absolutely perfectly with the chicken tortellini and red sauce. The bottle came up as I was cleaning out my parents house. It was in their wine refrigerator, a gift from my brother to them, that they never got to. I got to think of them while I enjoyed it.

Very nice red table wine you can join with pasta, light on the fruit light on the tannins
