Vibrant jellied cranberry hue with aromas of subtle, floral fragrant rose petal with a sweet cherry cream hint. Rustic, savory dried spices. Nice!
Palate--Juicy acidity, with lip smacking tannins, tart cranberry, and a very quick finish.
I opened this last night and purposely waited for it to breath over night in light of its youthfulness. It paid off. My first impression last night was not very favorable being ill-defined, confused, a wine in search of an identity. 20 hours of airtime and it is hard to beat a wine like this that sells for around--sit down--$6 at one of our local mega chains called Trader Joe's.
For reference--Two nights ago I reviewed another Montepulciano D'Abruzzo from "Podere" which I personally enjoyed much more. But that is just a matter of preference so remember that you like, what YOU like. There objective elements of good wine but in the end it comes down to YOUR preference. Just don't get stuck because you found something you like and tay glue to what you know. There is such a bounty of wine profiles at all price points discover what you like and keep on discovering and while your at it, "Raise a glass!"
