Pronounced ruby hue with aromas of raspberry, and gentle spices on the rim.
Palate--Tart first impression with mineral beam, razor sharp acidity, austere first impression and this after breathing it for several hours. It finishes with a nice Montepulciano reminder and lingers for a bit.
*I had a glass breathing on the counter for 3 hours and that is the above review. I just re-reviewed it with a fresh pour from the bottle and it sports a bit of cherry, with the acidity toning down a touch with a richer beam of varietal flavor mid palate. This is odd in my many decades of experience. *I am thinking this will be a much better wine with food when I pair it in a while with grilled Prime sirloin steaks, double baked potatoes, and home grown green beans.
*It was indeed very nice with my grilled sirloins accentuating the grilled char, while toning down the bitterness of said char.
$20 seems to be the price point on this wine. Raise a glass!
